coming along

The painting on my easel is coming along - I'm working pastel back to front, top to bottom but had to put in the moss covered branch to get a feel for the yellow-green and how it plays against the other colors. Lots of digging in the garden and no painting this weekend but I'll be back to it tomorrow, Monday.

One of my blog readers emailed me asking what became of that upper right corner. Here it is now as part of the whole painting.
