OK now the Danae is finished

Ok I went back into the Danae and changed the color of one of the falling books from yellow to a lavender with a yellowish spine and corner tabs. I love this painting. I think it will look great in our new home in Durham. Even though we don't have a new home yet, and we're still living in the old one. And our old one is still unsold after three days. Where are these people? This place is a bargain. I hope one day to do a painting as rife and recondite with symbolism as Bronzino's Venus, Cupid, Time and Folly. What a wonderful painting. I also hope to become more expressionistic like DeKooning. But the end of it all is continuing to find and use my own voice - to be wary of working in the vein of another.
