Rock Group

This is the base layer of my newest painting, which measures 24" x 36".
Artisan paints, same limited palette as usual. Tomorrow I have a few corrections to make to the far left side, where the shadowed rocks need some revision.
Then let it dry for a week or so, and work on something else.

Sublime... from the beginning...

You're certainly the rock master and this one is starting off really well.

Another successful start.

Thanks Faisal Jan and Judy. I made some changes to the rock wall on the left, which I am happier with now. But it will have a chance to dry before I get back to it.

You Rock... Pun was intended...

Back to this one today. I worked on the trees and rocks on the far left. Painting is 24" x 36"

This looks great at this stage. I would call it done at this stage. I am sure however, that you will take it to the next level of completion.

This is beautiful. You have done such a great job with bringing light into the center, pulling the viewer in. The rock in the front on the right is a little scary (it might fall on me. LOL) but the interior is so inviting, I just want to walk right in.

Thanks for the comments, Faisal and Judy. I still have work to do on this one, but at a distance (or when it is reduced in size) it appears further along than it actually is. The foreground rock will have stronger definition, and the background rocks might even soften a bit; we shall see.

Judy, these huge rocks DO fall sometimes, but only when they have eroded quite a bit more; you see fallen rocks here and there in the park. (but no easels visible under them, ha ha)

Well, I had a chance to do some painting today; 3 hours plus on this one. But then I looked at it and I will likely redo some of it. I gave the sky a second coat, and worked on the background trees a bit. Then I started the big rock on the right. At the end, it seemed that the style of painting I did on the rock didn't match the style for the left (shaded) rocks. So, back at it soon, maybe Friday.
