The beauty of this forum is that we can get a fresh eye when we need it. I did a painting which I really liked, but every time I looked at it I knew something was wrong. It didn't get framed for a year because of that "wrongness", but I still couldn't figure out what was bothering me.
Then One day I asked one of my artist friends who was visiting from the east coast if he could figure out what was bothering me. In about 30 seconds he said the highlights on the shrubs in the background were the same value as and were competing with the highlights in the foreground figure. A few dabs of lower value paint and the "wrongness" was gone. A fresh eye made all the difference.
