I worked on this painting today and this is how it looks now. This painting is based on a photo that I took back in October at Long Hill Gardens on an overcast day. I have been struggling to get the color right. I recently added some strong blue to the shadows, and I think that helped balance the color, and also added more depth. With more blue in the shadows, I added more gray and white to the sky, making it look more overcast. Today I concentrated on the composition on the left side, revising the placement of the tree trunk and branches near the gate house. I still want to add a bit more blue shadow to the trees, but this is nearly finished. . .
