Generally there are so many photos to be inspired by, that I don't often do repeats but this painting was one of the first few I did when I started these small formats. I was curious to see how it would compare to the first one done about a year and a half ago. I didn't strive to make it different from the first. This is simply how I painted it now within my comfort zone. And lo and behold, it is significantly different. I have adopted this more painterly approach after almost 100 small format paintings and am pleased to have evolved. This was the point after all.
