I took a break from water. These two paintings are from a picture I took at the MN Landscape Arboretum. The picture was taken mid-day with the sun overhead. Much of the picture was dark and I'm not great at adjusting for that. Still I really enjoyed painting the sky with this first attempt. The trees ended up being overworked with layers and layers of paint.

In the second one, I tried to not overwork the trees.

At first, I painted the dark shrub in the middle and left the shadow black. I didn't like how it looked, so I gessoed it out. I still don't like how it looks, but I'm ready to let go and move on.
