I added a light wash over the farthest hills and softened the edges of all the hills. I darkened the sky a bit, added the smallest branches and decided to give it a rest. A friend of mine who owns a gallery stopped by to take a look and said she likes it and we talked about how difficult it is to make the light colors recede, especially with such a diffuse light source and no benefit of glaring sun and harsh shadows. She recommended more detail in the water and I will probably develop that more. I have been very cautiously adding details and highlights to get just the right reading without disrupting the haziness of the piece. I began a small collage piece last night and have been working on a new painting of flower boxes in downtown Eureka. I’ll post those when they are completed.
