On Monday, you saw this version of the custom oil painting of a Mineral King scene.
Next, I put more paint on the sky and worked more carefully on West Florence. (The humanoid is still a mess.)
Time to rescue the humanoid from embarrassing me. Wait, time to rescue me from the embarrassment of the humanoid. Something. . .
What’s different here? A little more background spots, using dark green and the grayish blue/bluish gray of West Florence.
Let’s make like a tree and leaf.
More color and texture on the tree trunks.
Something… Oh. I moved the tree on the left closer to the viewer.
In spite of using Trail Guy as a human-size model in the scene, I’ve decided to make the human larger in the painting.
Many more leaves, branches, trunks, grasses, and trail work to go before getting into the nitty-gritty of putting the correct human in the painting. That is going to stretch my skill to the nth degree.

Got my notecards! Love them! I have already used two! By the way- just finished “ The correspondent” which was recommended to me by a friend who knows I write letters/cards a lot! Perfect.
Anne, thanks for letting me know.
I’ve been on the waiting list for The Correspondent from the moment I first learned of the book!
