There's A Light...

...at the end of the tunnel. But I am not on a bullet train or even the Model A in "A River Runs Through It." Most often, it feels like I am manically pumping one of those hand carts in an old silent film ahead of a steaming locomotive and getting nowhere fast.


But there is a light as the background trees start to fill in. The detail below is roughly 15 x 20" and located in the right center of the painting. The bright white dots (again in the right center) are leaves that I missed on the first pass of yellow.


So now I get to paint, you guessed it, more leaves!
