I’m afraid I will mess it up, make it worse.  But finally I have to do it, after I realize something is not right.”

I was thinking today as I was reworking the painting, that using the right brush seems to be as important as choosing the right color.  The wrong shape brush can totally ruin the effect I am trying to create.  And, as always, changing one part of the painting means the other parts change too, so I had to redo the ocean part, boat and sky today.  I think the water still needs more work.  There isn’t enough detail towards the front of the painting now.

final version? “

Wonderful painting!
