I have tried several versions of this painting since I posted a drawing of it some days ago. I think I learned much from painting this one, though it still needs some work. I love the vibrancy of the colours, and the way I was able to paint the grasses to the right -- though the latter required that I wreck one of my wife's acrylic brushes to get the effect. I like the leaves on the trees too.
I might do yet another version of this picture, but I hope this one marks a breakthrough in my painting style.
This is a 10" by 8" watercolour with salt, masking fluid and a little oil pastel. It was painted over three days.
Sorry but you did ask for it! Here’s another painting...
