This painting was waiting patiently for some attention. I gave it an entire afternoon, photographing it at 5 stages.
First, I put in some sky patches in the upper left.
Next, I strengthened the trees. They are all sort of skinny in the photo, so I will probably choose a few to fatten up. Later.
I mixed several greens and just danced around all over the canvas without a real plan.
Then I worked on the road, along with a bit more specificity in the greens.
Finally, I paid attention to the details in the closer things off the shoulders of the road.
In conclusion, the photo is mostly a suggestion of shapes and light. The details are murky, so I am just winging it, pantsing it, trying this and that with an occasional peek at the photo. Photos. I have several, and yet have no memory of taking these pictures.
Two titles are under consideration: “Take Me Home. . .” and “Somewhere in Three Rivers”.

I vote for “Take Me Home” (Country rooooooads!)
Sharon, that’s what I’ve been calling it, but now I am questioning much of what is on canvas with several new ideas about making it better. Most of my ideas are coming from somewhere inside my convoluted mind, so it might need a new title, if my ideas come to fruition, successfully, that is.
