Haven’t been to painting class for several weeks.  One week i was out of town; week before teacher had a heart attack (he’s fine now).  And since the rules for this class are you leave the painting at the gallery between classes, it’s been a while since i’ve Worked on this new project.  Today was devoted to the sky.  I got a good bit done but as you can see, the sunset (aka that little white spot) is only just begun.  Hope to get that done next week and then start on that gorgeous water.  I attach progress photo and also the reference photo, as it’s been a while.

Today i worked on several areas of this painting:  water, reflections of the trees that sit in the distance; improvement of reflections in the “nearer” trees; water reflections not related to trees.  I do recognize that i could keep working on this painting to improve several parts of it.  However, i have grown tired of looking at it.  So — on to something new.  I’m pleased that i was able to solve several problems without any teacher input, and am ready to start another to do all on my own.
