​I Lightened Up The Sky...

...in the second layer of paint, and now am excited about where this painting is headed. You can see the full spectrum of sky colors in the tube below the painting, and the before and current colors on the color strip to the right. Now onto the horizon line and water.

The First Layer...

 ...is done, and now I get to stare at this one for a while (and go find some post sunset twilights to stare at while I’m at it) to decide where I want this painting to go in the next layer.

The Colors...

 ...for my second layer on this painting are spread out on the palatte below the easel. To the left with a brush for each color are the water tones, while the ice flows get one brush for every three shades on the right.

My Panel Making Room...

...got a lighting upgrade. Thanks 1 Broad dumpster! And if you ever wondered what a years supply of painting panels looks like for me, wonder no more.

And with a little more work, this first layer is complete and the painting is well on its way!

I’ve Mixed...

...all the color and am ready to make the final push to finish this layer of paint. Now hopefully I've mixed enough!

I'm Spending My Days...

...watching the grass grow, in one inch strips, from top to bottom and left to right. But seeing the difference from the first layer to the second makes me realize how fun this painting will be when done.
