Since my last posting I’ve been working mainly on the left side of this painting, trying to improve the look of the grasses. I got rid of the “tops” and repainted quite a number of the stems. Then i tried to figure out what to do with the areas further back. For starters i wiped out the whole area, covering it with a brown base. At that point i could see that it was going to be very difficult to fill in that whole area — too big. So next i moved the mountains, adding a couple of sections. that seemed to work pretty well, so then i was just left with the dilemma of how to fill in the background grasses. That dilemma will hopefully be solved in the next day or two with some additional and contrasting layers.Might work; might not.
