death of a dream (corrected) by Ray Schloss
2.5 × 3 feet. oil on canvas
only second time in like 7 months i’ve painted.
felt the need to give up the “gotta use only palette knives” mindset. so, this is with brushes.
white balance is corrected in this shot vs. the prior posting.
thanks to carmen, mimi, julian and wayne for encouragement to get back at it….
