Tree and Hillside (Oil Bar Painting as of February 9, 2015)

This morning I worked on this painting for a while. I am using oil bars to paint a late October scene that I photographed at Appleton Farms (in Ipswich, MA). (My reference photos are posted here on January 2nd and 3rd.) Today I was still concentrating on establishing the shapes of the foliage, and doing a little bit of work on light and shadow on the tree. I also did a little bit of work on the foreground and on the line of trees in the background.
