Working on Darks - Lights next

The background trees took longer than I anticipated. They are still not completely accurate but I needed the values to be more on spot because the initial colors are so very imporatant to me.

I want to see the greens and blues and purples and oranges.

I look forward to covering the canvas.

A girlfriend came over and interrupted my afternoon art session. She found it curious how I start my paintings. Made me a bit self-conscious..... sigh........

I look forward to tomorrow. It should look much better with the values down by then.
