Working far outside my comfort zone in workshop with Dan Nelson

We just finished a workshop with Dan Nelson. Filling our paintings with light and color was a big focus of the workshop and just what I needed!

I really wanted to stretch myself and do something I normally would not do. Not because I don't want to do it, just don't know how.

Here is how it went. Don't know that it is exactly finished but in the manner I would normally paint I would NEVER attempt to do anything with this much foliage!

Much more colorful and interesting in my opinion.

This is the fountain in the First Presbyterian Churchyard with old St. Paul's Catholic church in the background.
