New Painting in Progress

Our family went to a reunion and visited Cascade Springs.  The kids were given butterfly nets and had a ball hunting for them.

I like to begin most paintings with an orange wash (Burnt Sienna).  Then paint an outline of each of the main objects, loosely.  Then I block in the main color of an object and then begin to add details one at a time.  It's like a puzzle to solve.  So fun!
