        This was begun much looser than my normal, and it was good experience to change my process- new color possibilities, editing on the fly, many element changes from the reference. Not entirely finished out, but toward a good direction, though a bit too many surface/light issues with the image.

            Thanks Christel! Although working gradually, the process helps me see what final shapes and color values need to be- training!

                This is quite nice. I like how it is realistic, but with good personal style. Colors are good and forms are nicely developed. Good work.

                    Wonderful! I’ve spent a lot of time in this kind of country.

                        Thanks David– I feel that this direction will put me more at ease with ‘letting go’ of non-essentials and making changes for the greater good- I am a recovering Realist!

                            One of my favorites of yours Ken! The looser brushwork works so well in this piece, especially with that turbulent water. I like the log that lays across the falls as it brings the eye to those wonderful trees and back around. Excellent work!

                                    Thank you Wes! The reference I shot had good points, but was in a big tangle, so some major editing took place. In oils, this was happening while painting, so it’s a good workout to shake things up.

                                    I love your rocks and the colors in the flowing water. You handle complex scenes so well. Gary

                                    Ken, Really fine work! Great job on the moving water. Rocks are right on.

                                        Thank you Gary! I started this one with a different approach, which brought some interesting color and mixes, and allows for more revision in progress- eventually more painterly, I hope.

                                        Thanks Boogiechile– I appreciate it! Each time is gets a bit easier, and hopefully better.
