Hey everyone. Here is the new painting Titled, "Once Upon a Summer's Day". I've been working on this series of Robin a lot lately. I tried something new with the tree bark. I usually paint in some highlights and leaves a few dark lines to suggest bark and texture. I did some of that, but I also kept painting brighter and brighter greens to suggest lichens growing on the bark. The paint darkened as it dried so I did this several times until it seemed right to me. In this painting is Robin over looking Jessamine County from Garrard County. I need to do a painting where in it you can see the KY River separating the two. Everyone take care and have fun!
