Reflections (Oil Bar Painting as of August 6, 2013)

Reflections (Oil Bar Painting as of August 6, 2013), a photo by randubnick on Flickr.

Here is my oil bar painting in progress as it looked when I had finished painting on Tuesday, August 6. (I am now two days behind in posting.) This scene at Bradley Palmer State Park (Topsfield, MA), is roughly based on a photo that I took there. (My reference photo is posted here on June 14.) On Monday, I worked mainly on the water, correcting the shapes of some of the reflections to match the shapes on land--which meant turning the painting upside-down as well as on its side--and also working on making the water a bit darker.
