Gotta let it dry ....

This may be the hardest past .... walking away and letting it dry .... good thing there is cooking, laundry and a hungry (supportive) hubby at home.

I was not pleased with this at first ... after stepping back and looking at it  .... I think it looked like I used a ruler and measured the spacing of the branches ... too evenly placed. I know better than that!!!!


But I glazed over a few of the forsythia sprigs and I think that will help the composition .... let me know what you think (honestly). Tomorrow I will add more yellow layers and small details on some of the blossoms.

  1. From Western New York, it looks like the Forsythia are jumping right out of the page at me . . . just opening their branches to embrass (how about hug) me.

    So I think this one is a keeper.
