Thanks to an astute wonderful friend I was made aware of a lack of dark values in my forest. It's a funny thing values, seems I'm always having trouble getting to the ends of them, either light or dark. I had the darks in there early on, then proceeded to paint over them, and lighten them. Silly me.

So I went right in after getting the word and fixed it. I think the painting is so much better! Much better balanced. And the dark blue green forest looks as I saw it and as it looks in the photo.

The other thing I found out, by having to go back in with this painting this morning is something that will effect all my paintings also. But this time on the photography level. I get a more true picture if I turn the overhead led lights off.

So all in all a very learning morning.

Ever onward my learned friends.
