Today's painting is the same scene as #2, but this time it is from early morning. I walk by here every morning just as the sun is rising. The marsh grasses glow in the sun's rays.
I decided to leave blue out of the sky and use a pinkish-orange instead. Then, I added a little stream through the marsh that isn't really there. Since the sky is pink, I painted the stream pink. The sky would reflect in the stream.
Painting this was fun - I enjoyed experimenting with different colors and adding elements not in the photo. It wore me out, though, so the intended second painting of the day didn't happen. No worries, though.
Thanks for stopping by!! Please be sure to come back tomorrow!
