Morning Mist


The painting has been done in oils and is on 24"x18" canvas.

I like the background misty trees and blending.. I could have had better definition on the shrubs/bushes in the middle of the painting focusing more on the light source and varying colour. As i was painting I was torn between a stream/waterfall or beaten path. I think indecisiveness has resulted in a waterfall that is not quite correct and the splash on the front rock seems to be a little exaggerated given the slope of the hill. Nevertheless, it's my favourite painting to date.

P.S

Some of the white specs you see in the sky (on the outer edges of the blue area of sky) is light reflected off the still wet canvas...
