Camp 20 Creek...8"x 10' study...oils

Chance to do a study today...started with yellowish-orange undertone, used umber, blue and cad orange to draw wet into wet...lay some darks, then mixed up some cools, blues, blue-violet, even a hint of viridian.  Used paper towel to push edges, suggest some movement...and looking forward to working more on it...

I may scrap out the suggestion of the thin ice on bottom and extend reflections, for the sake of design.  I'll toss that idea around...

Larry these scenes you are painting are so cool to see. I really enjoy seeing the block-in. Seeing where the painting came from and where it ends up is always an eye opener to how other artists work.

I like the elevated view of this painting....sort of looking down towards the creek shoreline. It's a great angle for the reflected tree trunks and branches. Excellent!
