Sunlight and Storm Clouds (Oil Bar Painting as of June 24, 2013)

Sunlight and Storm Clouds (Oil Bar Painting as of June 24, 2013), a photo by randubnick on Flickr.

This is the painting I am currently working on, as it looked when I finished painting yesterday. (At this point, I am one day behind in my posts.) This painting is an oil bar landscape based on one of my photos, a view of Salem looking across the water from Obear Park, in Beverly, MA. The photo (posted here June 19) was taken near sunset, with storm clouds threatening in the distance. I didn't have a lot of time to paint yesterday, so I just worked on adding some dark areas to the trees. I also sketched in the reflection of the land in the water, and extended the reflections of the trees. To be continued. . . .
