Feeling like a beginner today :(

Progress, but hard-won today.  So much work for so little difference: paint on, wipe off, repeat. I seem to be learning the Karate Kid way this week. I am hoping these will look more like the image in my mind when I wake up tomorrow.  As usual, they look better in the photos than in real life.

Actually, I am just impatient to move on to the beautiful sunflower that is next on my list to do for the show in April. I can get that started tomorrow while I let these two dry enough to work on again. The mountain cliff needs some hard-edged dark shadows and the green ridge behind it needs some trees and snow banks. The lake painting just needs the foreground trees tuned up. Easy-peasy, right?
