painting progress



i am finally getting around to working on the foreground. i put it off for a bit. there are a lot of bushes and grasses. i still have to work on the lower right hand corner, but i think it is working out. the brush is rather light and some is golden brownish color, but it can't be lighter than the rock with the sun on it. so am using devious methods to gray down the front and still have it be light. is that an oxymoron. it works though.
