I had intended on getting to work on my Deer drawing for the painting we have been talking about but after a Clinic visit this morning with the anti-biotics they put me on I just didn't feel up to something like that which takes a lot of perseverance to get the drawings right-so I piddled around on this all afternoon and have finished my water and the back brush a little. Even more leaf structure in the trees.

This is extraordinary. I love how you have taken notice of the way light can create a composition all its' own. The way the light breaks between the trees and their reflection is interesting. It creates a good interaction between the viewer and the painting.
Superb illusion.

Great color shifts in the water work, Gary. You can tell both shallower water on the right side, and the direction of the sunlight with the shadows and color changes. Lovely!

Beautiful handling of light in the water, such of sense of being there!
I hate antibiotics too- it does the job, but really disrupts the body balance.
