This morning I didn't like where things were going so I took out one of the pine trees and enlarged the grizzly. I had put in dark bands of snow in the background shadows but it didn't read properly so out they came. It is looking a lot better all ready.

Wow Gary, this is so great to see your process. I often use an underpainting like this to get my values down and find that helpful.

Is that a mixture of dark paint in the background or is it indigo? Very nice effect.

Waiting for your next phase with this...Susan

Being able to see your process is like getting a special Christmas present! Seeing the master at work - I'm excited!
