I thought this painting was finished and was about to scan it when I realized it was missing something important.
Snow covered mountains in the distance! White is the slowest color to dry, so it will be a week or two before this one is ready to scan.
This one needs definition in the distant groves and detail in the foreground branches.
I am just making stuff up now. As long as it is believable, it’ll do.
This will take awhile, lots of painting sessions to try this, that, and something else.
Saturday night, remember to spring your clocks forward because Daylight Saving Time begins. It isn’t saving any daylight, merely shoving it an hour later so that mornings are dark again. There is talk of making it permanent, but those who think that is a good idea aren’t thinking ahead to waiting until 8 a.m. to see any daylight in the fall and winter months. I say leave the time right where it belongs and quit jerking us around.
So there.
