Reflections (Oil Bar Painting as of August 11, 2013), a photo by randubnick on Flickr.

This is my oil bar painting in progress as it looked three days ago, on August 11, 2013. I am painting a scene in Bradley Palmer State Park that I photographed last summer. (The reference photo is posted here on June 14.) I am making a lot of small changes as I go, but the most obvious change that I made on the 11th was to rework the lily pads and added some new ones in the lower right hand corner, checking to make sure shape, size, and placement helped to indicate perspective. I also did more work on the dark water, adding a few marks to indicate the surface.
