"POWER SURGE" - as it was completed in Novemebr of '06I think the freshness in the painting got lost in the painting below. What do you think? It's so easy for me to over-tweak a painting and suddenly loose the vitality and energy that makes a painting really sing. I'll have to try this one again and remember to put the brush down before I loose my emotional connection to the work.

Sandy,
I think that I prefer the first rendition of the Masai.
I love the color saturation in the clothing, and the detail in the women faces...
I agree, the first painting has the freshness and the clean look the second lost. I would definitely do this one again because it's a great composition and "story" in a painting.
The school just had their annual variety show fundraiser for the Tanzania project and it brought me back to look at your painting. I am glad you have posted it. I do like the first one a bit better, though both convey different feelings.
