Water Lily - part 3

So a few subtle changes on the petals and started adding a little bit of dry brush, i.e. thicker drier paint to make the streaky marks.  I think i will let it rest for a bit and look at it with fresh eyes in a day or two.

Water Lily - part 2

I have worked on the Water Lily tonight and further refined all the petals, shadows and colors.  It still has a ways to go but I will work on it through out the week and get it ready to finish up.  The colors of the shadows are the hardest to replicate in a believable fashion and to my satisfaction.

Leafy Tree Study

Monday Night pencil tree study.  I did not feel like painting so I switched to pencil study.  I am working towards the 10000 hours and it is still a ways off.  A little bit each day.

Water Lily - block-in

I worked on this block-in today of a Water Lily.  This is in oil and I decided to return to some flower work and at a large size.  I will start tweaking this tomorrow.

Rocky Surf and Beach - beyond the block-in

I worked the details on this surf scene.  I further refined the rocks, surf, and sky.  Everything needed work so it all got some adjustments.  The surf will need the most work to get it where I want it to be for completion.

Rocky Surf and Beach - block-in

I worked on this block-in tonight.  This will need a lot of work to get it were it needs to be.  This is done with oil painting.

Crazy Bristle Cone Pine sketch

A quick post tonight, thunderstorms every  where here in Maryland.  I sketched this in pencil and now I am getting off the computer before the power goes out.
