Near the Water
8 x 8 in., oil on panel
This is another scene from my studies out at Turkey Bend near Marble Falls. Again, I did four studies on a divided 12 x 16 panel--two were 15 minute studies and two were 30 minutes. I can't describe how unrefined they were, but they were important color and value notes, and I surprised myself at what I accomplished in that short time. And the best part is that instead of walking away with one painting, I walked away with material for several. :)
