Hey Michael, thanks for asking this question and putting forth your idea. And my answer is yes! The steps absolutely add to a story.
This is what I meant by saying there are soooo many possibilities to paint! I love when I find a reference photo in which there are a number of possible crops and interpretations. This one definitely fits that category!

Interesting and thank you for this. Perhaps it’s just me, but I’m curious on the composition side, why you didn’t include the door with the steps on the right of the person? I think it really adds to the story, no? Ah, yes, I know, cropping is a whole art in itself…. painting has so many puzzle elements, I find.

That’s so great to hear Dianne – that it was helpful AND that you yourself are a thumbnail aficionado!
Thanks for passing on this post 😀

I have many arty friends who wonder why I am so fond of doing thumbnails. I will pass this on to them.
