This painting is of no particular place, just a point in time of an era I am very fond of –
I begin with an initial sketch using thinned Raw Umber – This allows me to make whatever adjustments to the composition I feel are needed … along with developing my lights and darks – I then begin laying in my colors very thinly, working all over the canvas … the sky is the last thing I paint in –
Painting: Oil on canvas glued to hardboard, 12 x 16; Palette: Yellow Ochre, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Indian Red, Raw Umber, Terre Verte, Ultramarine Blue and Cremnitz –

I did not like the way this painting was developing … to closed in and dark – So, I scraped on the big trees opening them up some and am now repainting them – Completely took out the near tree ( did not like it at all ) … decided to develop an old grey tree that has survived the ravages of time on that rock pile –
Have roughed in the distant mountains; working on the sky; added a figure walking up the road to the cabin and continuing the development of the water – Overall, as you can see, I have opened up and lightened the scene … I like it better this way –
