Re: Pond - Cuyahoga Valley
Though I still see Kathleen, and I do like the tranquility the piece suggests (love the soft butter sky), I'm left lacking on this one compared to viewing your other two. I keep looking for some chops and textures and bold loose application extending beyond the cattails...

Re: Pond - Cuyahoga Valley
Tamana - sometimes a girl has got to settle down A lot of this is just me saying,"what will happen if I do this" Believe it or not I started out playing with cast shadows on grass and then this pond appeared.....

Thanks Janice - sometimes I think loose and free and more to do with being impatient! I once tried quilting - I could never do anything so exacting. My instructor wanted us to cut out each piece one by one. I was folding the fabric in order to cut out 8 at a time. Although I did get a bit caught up in the grasses here.

Re: Pond - Cuyahoga Valley
This is excellent greens and butter-golden-yellows. My favorite little detail of this, are the evergreens on the horizon viewer-left...so cool how you did the light breaking them apart and yet they are without question evergreens.

Re: Pond - Cuyahoga Valley
Wayne - the rock was a happy afterthought - done with a knife
Michael Ann - thansk...are there enought trees there?
Gilberte - you spotted the original trouble spots... I went back more than once to highlight and darken those greens
