Moving along very slowly on this one. Today, in between shipping art, baking little peepeyed pets, photographing prints, and adding items to my eBay store, I would go in and do a little more work on it. It will take many layers of paint to get this looking the way I want. I did several washes over the water and started messing around with the hills and was glad to have to stop just when I was getting carried away with detail. I’ll go back in and remove some of the detail in the hills. I still love the vision of this painting and am enjoying the process of developing it, but it is a new idea for me to create a very subtly hued landscape with very little detail visible. With the palette I have chosen it is tricky to stylize the piece without it becoming too kitschy. This is the piece that is teaching me to work in the daytime.
