Been 3 weeks since I have been able to spend sometime in the studio and get to work on this piece again.
Got up early and went out to the studio, started to work the water in the green pond up. Added the darks to the water and worked in the weeds and reflections in the water, wanted the bright color in the reflection but wanted it subdued, so it would not take attention away from the main interest the trees in the middle ground. Worked the green Alder trees in the right area. Will let it tack up over night and then bring in the foreground trees and bushes. Keeping in mind not to take away from the main area of interest. I am getting real excited to see this painting finished it has come together really well - so far.
Ugh what was I thinking, the pond is way to Neon Green,will have to dull it down. Was having to much fun blending the colors and that I did not realize how "In Your Face" the green was.
