So, yesterday's progress can be measured in these two paintings. I worked on establishing nuances in the pattern of water.... as well as depth and focus to the right figure. I like the
left figure-- and want to counter balance her with richness in the other figure. It will make the foreground figure more prominent. the foreground in the lower right is also untended. the value needs to be adjusted and softness conveyed.
The figure below just received some slight attention. i will develop her as i spend additional time today working. [At least the value structure here is established.]
I also have a commission to work on -- which takes priority over all!
Yay!

I love the light effect and the water in this piece. It's really remarkable how you are able to capture this so well-simply stunning. I love the way you capture the feeling of water.
Your work is just amazing.
Merry Christmas,
