Sunlight and Storm Clouds (Oil Bar Painting as of July 2, 2013)

This is my oil bar painting in progress as it looked yesterday. This landscape showing sunlight and storm clouds is based on a photo that I took recently from Obear Park here in Beverly, MA. It was near sunset and there were dark clouds over Salem, just across the river. (The photo is posted here on June 19.) Yesterday I continued to work on the water, trying to get the effect of a dark band of green (reflected land) and streaks of purple (reflected sky). There are things I want to change about the trees and grass, but I want to get this water right first. To be continued. . . .
