A Couple Of Detail Shots...

...from my recently completed painting.


Here is the sky going in.


The sky and horizon line complete, you can see the subtle curve of the earth.


Not the best shot, but here the water and reflections are going in, with the gradient curved to pull your eye back into the painting.


Water, reflections, and most marsh complete, the foreground grasses are ready to be painted.


Notice the darkening from back to front (for the next blog post) which builds perspective along with the sharp blades of individual grass standing up to define their space.


Finally, the grass is done and the second layer of paint complete!
