What is a quick paint?   A quick paint can take no more than two and a half hours to paint from start to finish after your canvas is stamped and your time is marked.  Wow!!!!
The weather looks like t-storms all day.  Should be a challenge!!!!!!  

I am going to do a terrific painting!!!! I must find some reflections in road  puddles to paint!!!!!

Still Developing the Foreground

As you already know I have been working on this painting simplifying the morass of information in the photos. This is number two photo.

30 minutes Into a Painting done my Judith Reidy

In view of last evenings class upon Lorin Willey's prompting and suggested photo, I began working on this painting some 35 minutes ago. I will keep you posted as to the progress.

I think the photo was taken by Lorin in Ireland, yet it seems like the scene could come from a hilly region in Wisconsin.

I want to put the "head" on the white tree yet. But I think I will wait a bit.
The focal point appears near the foreground now, and I think it should be further back. so I will need to reduce the contrast in the foreground and move it further up the stream.....

Or maybe I should just cut off the top of the painting!

Now I enjoyed painting my neighbors front yard in the morning light, which cast a shadow on the front of the building. I laid in my design quickly and the shadow pattern and stuck to it. I love the way the tree catches the sunlight.
