I have 3 paintings that are in progress right now, and only time to photograph one of them this morning before I head to the bakery.

My goal in looking at the black and white picture is to not be distracted by the color. Does the painting flow? Is there enough contrast to be interesting?

I found this photoshop artist as I wandered through the internet. He films what he calls 5-minute speed paintings and they are amazing.
