The fundamental aim of most serious painters, the problem of getting that blurry, unresolved image from your head onto the canvas. Its this intention that causes the most frustration as the translation often disappoints. I started this painting following too closely to the rigid scene that was in front of me. Today was another leap of faith with the hope of painting my way out of the mess I was creating. Little by little this faith was repaid and now this is the painting I had as the idea. Especially with the intention of the kite having the most drama, I suppose the focal point, with the purest colour. Now the picture is going well.
