Still Amazed (Oil Bar Painting Day 1)

Today I started another oil bar painting, using the photo that I posted here yesterday as a reference. The scene is an amazing sunset that I photograph from Obear Park, here in Beverly, MA. This morning I worked quickly to rough in a general idea of the composition and to lay down a base for the colors, without trying to show depth, scale, or modeling. Even with that said, I already have a long list of things that I need to move, change, and adjust. I still find it pretty daunting to post a painting in such an early stage. But it is useful to do it, and it feels good to get this started.
