Fuller Falls - Complete

Last year Bruce, Liz and I took a day trip to the Fundy trail. Gorgeous day. Liz showed us Fuller Falls - quite a lovely site and worth seeing at different times of the season. It was a bit of a hike down - the falls travelled down over quite the terrain and we were rewarded with a sunny walk on the beach at the bottom.

This painting may not demonstrate the height in this section. I recommend the trip to everyone.

Meenans Cove Scene - latest work in progress

We have a beautiful cove nearby with a boat launch and park. This morning it was quiet and the water still. I am trying to capture that lovely serenity. Below are the various stages of progress. 

I had included a third smaller boat originally but felt it added nothing to the scene.

I had a eurika moment while painting last night. I added the sunlit field in the distance, creating another plane. It looked great but suddenly showed how cold the foreground had become.  So I warmed the earth along the shore, using burnt sienna and added yellow ochre and cad orange in the foreground grasses. I need to do some more work on the foreground by bring some more grasses into the water area and replacing the tips that I lost when changing the earth color.  I hope to create some reflected lightand and a bit more interesting detail on the boats. Then finally add a bit of lost and found edges on the tree.

Comments welcome.
