A bench in South Africa

Quiet around here lately!  Apologies for that, I've been working on a bunch of stuff I can't show just yet.  Hope I'll get to soon, but until then, you'll have to sit tight : )

In the mean time, I've decided to go back to one of my South Africa paintings which wasn't very developed at all when I brought it back.  It's coming on nicely but I'm not quite sure whether I should leave it as it is, or start adding figures.  I quite like the idea of someone lying on the bench, and kids sneaking up on them, hiding behind the trees.  I'm sure it would make for a far more interesting image.  What do you think?

I do quite like the crazy grass though : D

Leave it as it is. To me this is a perfect composition and thing of beauty! Wonderful!

Thanks, Antonia!

I think I will leave it be for the time being. Lots of other paintings to be getting on with anyway: hush hush, but potential for a mini exhibition near Covent Garden in October!
