No. 204 - Potted Ivy

8" x 6" - Oil on Panel

This one was actually painted at the same time as 202, but all I put down at the time was a Burnt Sienna base. I had a hard time grasping the colors with 202 and decided to get the basics down and come back once it dried to experiment, indoors, with the color side of it. There are some things about this one that are better but at the same time I think 202 had a liveliness that is lacking in 204. It could be the composition too. The ivy in the pot gets a bit lost, but it felt good to look at this from another angle.
