On our last paint-out, we went back to the river. One of his suggestions throughout the workshop was to do the same scene over and over on different days, different light conditions. Through familiarity of a scene you get more intuitive and poetic (The Big Goal). (Oops, I kinda forgot that! - and I painted a new scene - again a small and intimate scene with high contrasts).
It was OK, but again I was reminded to develop bigger shapes in the beginning (sometimes I get obsessed with things like dead twigs...)
To fix at home: the greenish dark border over the top of the big rock! Like, take canned air to it! And, need to do more highlights on the foreground left willow.

Hi, Carolyn! :-)
As always - wonderful colors! Yellow ocher and violet-brown twigs! The perfect combination of colors! I think that you did not have enough time to finish this picture! Although I love your willows at this stage! There is something in that mood - the arrival of bright colors with the onset of autumn...
I see the willow tree in the background - exactly like the willow bushes that grow in damp places in my homeland not far from my house :-)
