I'M BACK ... for a bit

I didn't like where the last rendition of this was going, so, OF COURSE, I started again.

It's a narrower format, with a softer [hopefully]  positive/negative space effect of willow leaves.

I am here now. I'll probably bring a very thin yellow wash in front of goose, with drizzles of the leaf colors flowing vertically, in a wet-in-wet wash.

Bruno looks like a giant anteater here. He's actually reaching down with his choppers to scratch at some obnoxious insect. I even had an opportunity to ride the lad today. OH, I'M IN HEAVEN TODAY!!!!

    You're a girl, Kathryn! What do you do with all the false starts? Do you turn them over and use the other side?
    Glad you could get out on Bruno .. its beginning to brighten up here and soon the call of the outdoors will get me too!

    This new rendition appears to be more elaborate. Your first "study" is paying off beautifully Kathryn. AND I LOVE THE PHOTO OF BRUNO! WHAT A BEAUTY. LUCKY YOU.
