This is a fun and different piece I'm working on - looking down into a pond beneath desert palm trees with the reflections interrupted by a few floating leaves. I took the picture a couple of years ago, and I've kept the print out so I could paint it, but the photo wasn't very good, so it took me a long time to finally try it. I was feeling in a playful mood, willing to experiment with this and use my imagination where the photograph left me muddled. It really is like painting a tree upside-down! A mind-bending exercise.
Check back in a couple of days and see if I've finished it....

Oh Carolyn! This is wonderful!
Way to go, Carolyn, always streching your mind and your talents and working at Art. I will check back, but this is looking good I also wanted to say I saw a recent painting of yours, a stream with rocks, but it really seems as if the water is moveing!! Thats an eye catching piece, hope you plan to show it somewhere this year. Later!
Wow! Carolyn - it looks so interesting! :) These branches and flying leaves! :) This is a story, may be illustration, very beautifuul! I am waiting-waiting!!!!!
Mhhh reflections and water are quite difficult, but I see you've managed to produce a very good piece of art. It seems you observe, understand and then try to copy the things you see in nature. Will you teach me?
