Mother's group revisited

As my friends will attest I'm a prolific painter with a huge output. When I reach a quota of paintings that can fit on my walls I look at the ones that can be improved. Sometimes they can't be made better and I gesso it and paint over.


One that caught my eye was the one of the mother's group at Wylie's. This is what it looked like:


I thought the colours were a bit off and I decided to introduce violet, yellow and blue to the orange green scheme. The result is less abstract and I think the effect of shadows from the stairs is better rendered.
