Daily Painting #164 -- Thresholds Study

This is a study for the Thresholds series. I've been wanting to add some smaller pieces into the mix for a while. Some subtle, quiet, empty spaces. Happened upon this late the other night. New it could carry, but the handling would be the key. So I built this one up very slowly. Keeping the dark passages fairly transparent, building up a bit more in the lights. I also pulled back on the darks and worked in some real subtle temperature shifts to solidify the planes.

I don't think I've done anything this subtle in a single session before... let alone at this size. Don't think I'll be parting with this one right away... But I couldn't resist at least posting it.

Hope you all have a wonderful Holiday! As always, thanks for looking!
