I’ve been working on this painting for the past couple of days. I began it just like the last two and I think this subject is perfect for that method because of it’s distinct areas of lights and darks. Subjects with lots of patterns of darks and lights would be much more difficult to pull off.
I find it very useful to post my paintings as work in progress… it forces me to do some of the critical thinking that may have gone by the wayside as I listen to music and push paint around. In this case I think the larger shapes are holding together alright. But, I’m struggling mightily with the trees that are overlapping on the left – one is on the foreground bank and the other is across the falls and below. I’m pretty sure the far tree is going to be cut down tomorrow… I’m mulling it’s fate over this evening :)
Cheers!
