Weekly Paint Progress: 6/4


This week the cenote went from this …

…to this …

I need to work on my trees and bushes, which look utterly stupid and lumpy now. Maybe a little Bob Ross on YouTube. Maybe more yellow in the background. Oh, The only part I like is the stripey ground on the bottom left. I need more of that. Maybe a yellow overhang that circles around the cenote and something to make the bushes look a little less … intestinal.

Man, “loose” is a pain in the ass.

The copper bowl went from this …

to this …

That cluster nearest the bowl is too white, but knowing how these things go I need to fix all the mistakes at the end.

  1. Maybe some wedge/triangle/leaf-shadow dark spots in the Intestinal Shrubbery? I don’t know.
    I’m really liking the reeds/leaning grass in the lower middle-right, myself! (and honestly, on the whole it’s looking good, but yes, a little more contrast would probably help)
    Re: lilacs; some of them *are* lighter than others, so there’s that; you can call it the one fluke blossom from the lilac tree that got snipped to go in this bowl. 🙂 But that’s also looking *very* good!

  2. KC – thank you. You aren’t going to recognize the cenote next week. I have big plans.

  3. Uh oh… 😉
    I look forward to what you come up with! (which differs from my attitude towards many public figures, so hey, you’ve got that going for you!)

Comment, even if you aren't on WordPress. Make up a name. Fine by me.
