Trumpet Vine for Marcia (Painting as of Dec. 16, 2022)

Here is my painting as it looked at the end of the day on Friday.  Changes reflect some concentrated work on placement, first of clusters of blossoms, then of the five main branches, and then of smaller branches where there will be clusters of leaves.  I am measuring locations on the canvas against the grid I have drawn over my reference photo, just figuring out where things go on the canvas.  This method is slow and methodical, and it is beginning to pay off. At this point, the shapes are rough and I using colors mainly to help me clearly where things are on the canvas.  Modifying shapes and colors will come later. To be continued. . . .
