Day 25 - Marsh Wildlife

Today's painting was way tougher than I had imagined it would be.  I think the reason for that is that I was not painting directly from a photo or a pre-planned composition as I have been.  This time I had a photo that only had bits and pieces of what I wanted in the painting.   This was another one that I came really close to just wiping off and starting over with.  But, I decided to push through and keep trying for just a little bit more.  Finally, it came together.
