Waiting - stage 3

I didn't bother posting the first two stages! These recent monochrome paintings are all made up of layers of glazes and consequently I have to wait until the previous glaze is dry before painting the next. This slows down the process so I have decided to paint two at the same time so while one is drying I can get on with the other and vice versa. This painting is one of them the other is a landscape called "Boboli" which will be in the next post.
As I have already mentioned these monochromes are not what I was looking for but I like the feel of them so I'm going to see what happens in a few more before changing colours and technique etc. Although they look too photographic they have a certain quality that I like so I think it's worth seeing where they can be taken. I was actually looking for something obviously "painted" with thicker paint, textures etc but let's see what comes out of these before I move on.
This is another underpainting worked up to finish using a mix of Burnt Sienna and Winsor Violet thinned with Liquin applied with a rag and brush.
Oil on linen 12" x 8".
