This is a 6" x 8" oil on canvas panel that I thought I finished..... and now that it's a small photo on my monitor, I see that I still have a few things to change. The walking man's calf is too pasty and the tree too prominant, and the blue railing sloping. Drat! I've already spent maybe 5 hours on this painting so there's no way to get my time back out of it unless I make prints. Am I the only one who thinks like that? I'll go ahead and push publish and then see what I can do to improve the oddities and will post it again later. My dad took the reference photo when he was visiting. I took a couple of boats out and moved the walking couple further back into the painting. I'll post the photo with the improved version in a bit.

Susan, I agree on the leg. The tree isn't important to me or the tiny slope on the rail. You put so much information in this small painting. Nicely done.
Thanks, Jo. I also saw that a bit of the table was missing where the two are sitting in the right foreground. Amazing what you don't see until you put the painting in thumbnail form on a monitor!
