So I thought it would be an interesting experiment to try painting the same scene twice. This was a painting commission for someones birthday and I wasn't exactly happy how it was initially turning out,
so I set the painting aside and started over again without looking at the previous painting...The end result was that both paintings looked pretty much identical despite having been painted on different days and without me looking at the previous painting for inspiration. I guess my brain could only come up with one solution to the painting and stuck with that solution.
