I got stuck on this one for quite a while. It actually sat long enough to collect dust. When I finally started on it again, I lighted the walls dramatically and that was almost like a clean slate for me, sort of like resetting the stage. I was then able to gently glaze in order to warm things up again.

Once the color was right, I began on all the small things. The details in the room took an entire day to paint. It is one of those scenes where you could keep adding, but I felt ready to be finished and I think the painting did too.

The inspiration for this piece came from the wonderful and beautiful movie Mr. Holmes. You can click
here to see the movie trailer. My story in this painting has bits and pieces from things I loved about the film. I hope you enjoy both the painting and the movie if you haven't already seen it.
