Painting in progress

Ok, it has been a while, but here I am again playing with paint and brushes. This time I decided to tackle a forest, my forest, the one in my backyard where I go and walk for hours with my dogs Charlie and Fanny.

I took an old canvas 40" X 40" and covered it with the base colors to cover the old image. From there I sketched some trees and made the composition with oil pastels and oil paint.

I was on a roll, I kept adding colors and trees and ground leaves, but I sort had a mix of a summer autumn scenery. So I redid the top part by covering it with more skies and branches, I want to go towards softer tree tops and more texture.

This is where I am at, a bit stuck.




I've worked out the bottom and somehow I have to blend it with the top...More to come.
