"Sims Creek" (in five stages)

Scroll down to see the stages (in reverse order) of my process in creating this painting.  I actually remembered to take pictures! I don't always create a painting in this same manor.
Sims Creek flows through Julian Price Park located on the Blue Ridge Parkway here in North Carolina.

First the completed painting:

                                          oil on canvas

Just one painting session before the completed painting:

    Thanks for the step-by-step. I understand how each painting is created differently but it's still nice to see a process. The final is beautiful and I can feel myself being there. Smelling clean air, listening to birds, and the breeze blowing through the leaves of the trees, and the water moving in the stream.

      Thanks, Wendy! I enjoy seeing different processes too. Beside Sims Creek is a great place to have a picnic, relax, read, paint.
      Hope all is well with you in your new home.
