It's my last post on this one, really.

I take a lot of pictures when I'm outside, in hopes of being able to use them for reference at some time or another. This is a good example of how I work up to an idea for a piece I suppose, because the forest swamp painting I've been working on the last couple of months began with the photo above.

Then it became this sketch.

And then it became what it is now.  Done with this for now,  on to other things!
