I Don't Know
The two other paintings I did yesterday afternoon with my head in the clouds: one is 8x10 and the other 9x12 oils on panel.
I found an old how-to Watson-Guptill book by John C. Pellew called Oil Painting Outdoors. He asks "Why do so many people want to paint pictures?" His answer: "I don't know." Actually he then tries to answer the question, but I like his first response. He has one good suggestion: instead of painting from a photo, make a drawing from the photo, and paint from that.
