‘Evening at the Resort’ .. Should I Cut Up This Oil Painting?

So I Am At Odds ..

The more I stare at this creation, the more I want to hack it apart. More precisely.. Hack it in two! What oh What should I do? I am open to opinions and ideas.

The Inspiration For This Piece ..

Was derived from the experiences I remember from all of our trips to tropical locations. At almost every resort that we have been to, we come across many many scenes worth painting. Some of them I take photos of while others I leave to memory. Either way, I don’t get around to painting all of them; I just don’t have that kind of time to devote to my art right now. When I do make a little time to paint, and I decide to create a tropical scene, boy do the memories come flooding back to me.

Just a nice photo from one of our trips.

Let Me Set The Scene ..

After a long day of basking in the tropical sun, we take cool showers and dress for dinner and the nightly entertainment. We leave our room and wonder out into the humidity. It’s evening and to dark to see every detail. Accent lighting and fire dance off every surface as if tempting us deeper into a secret caribbean world. We immerse ourselves in our new found addiction; the tropical paradise that is coming to life before our eyes.

My Concern With This Painting ..

Is that it’s too busy. There are too many palapas (those palm roofed umbrella things). I don’t know why I put so many in, but I can’t bring myself to paint them out. I was thinking about dividing the painting in to two individual paintings. Each would measure 12”x12”.

What Do You Think?? ..

I’ll Include A Few Progress Pic’s ..

Sorry there are not more, but when I get in the zone a tend to forget to pause and snap snap snap away.

I did. For some reason your upload platform does not like me. I have to log in and out multiple times for it to up load. When it finally does, things are missing. I’m getting frustrated with it.

Are you able to add it for me? If I click on the posting I see it, but not when looking at the pre post photo on my account. ???

I usually just upload a single picture with the title [CR] Title and then put "Post under construction" as body text and go with that

Later, I edit the post through Steemit

I am so frustrated with posting on the website. I can upload a picture, then type a bit and add my title and tags. I click upload then I get the dreaded X failed to upload. I have to log out and back in a few times then it works. By that time things change. It’s strange. A sentence or my title or other little things disappear after it finally uploads. Not sure. It happens from my iphone and my windows based PC. Grrrrrrrr. Then I’m told I forgot the [CR] but really it was there. I promise. So frustrating. I wish I could edit after upload to fix this stuff but nope. If I edit the title or picture on Steemit, it doesn’t change on Artisteem. Oh well. I’ll try like you said.. smaller then edit. Thanks for the advice though!!

yep it has happened to me too it was super frustrating !!!

at the end of that time i had to use a different browser entirely....

they need to fixxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh the problems we face!!! 😩 in the grand scheme of things... not a big deal I suppose. I just keep being referred to the “rules” and the “how to”. I’ll keep keeping on. Hehe. Hope all is well in Aussie land! Brrrrrrr cold here. 1C! Puddles are icing up.

Please send hugs to Molly and Pepper <3

Awesome weather!!! Enjoy it.
I will let them know. They are in bed with there mommy. It 10pm here. I’m finishing my beer and heading to bed. Christmas tree shopping tomorrow!
