Full size 16 x 20 Cherry Blossoms Washington Monument

I have been working on a commission to expand the size of my original 5 x 7 inch Cherry Blossom study into a fairly large 16 x 20 inch painting.  I blocked in the sky, the monument, the water and the very basic impression of the blossoms.  I am very happy with the sky and the first stages of the water. I am going to add some faces (sides) and slight color variation in the monuments color to add some depth and structure to it.  Then I will be able to focus on the last work needs on the water.  Then all my focus will be on the blossoms and their reflection in the dark water near the shore line wall.
