continuation of sketch requires deliberation

On Site 1 Plus - digital art - digital painting - Dan Beck 2007

I believe this is the last finished painting - it is a continuation from an on site work which I did a couple of weeks ago. I had seen so much more than I had had time to put into the original 40 minute sketch.

Having said that, I am not sure if this is a method I want to continue or not. There is something quite pure about the original painting - the continuation - with developed texture and depth is certainly more thorough; but I am not sure it adds anything essential to the original fresh sketch.

I handled the paint in a way reminiscent of Bold Glimpse because I have been looking at the piece a great deal and feeling like I had something special there.

Though I do like the finished work above - perhaps it is because I was taking too many directions here - following an on site feeling, developing, and perhaps mimicking while trying to remain fresh and bold at same time.
