gimme green lotsa green......

So work on the commissioned painting continues and the greens are starting to build now in the leaves around the rhododendron blossoms. I started with yellows and am moving into light greens, and will add deeper greens as I go. The background will be softly out of focus and I may work in some of those wonderful "point of light" circles known as bokeh or circle of confusion... read more here and check out some wonderful image examples here. This work is very peaceful and meditative and calming for me and I am really enjoying working on the painting.

I am also going to be working on getting some good photographic images of my sea glass and some wonderful striped rocks for some watercolors that I am planning to paint.... more on that soon:)
