Painting upside-down!

12 x 9 pastel

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....
