Nature's Still Life #7


My goal with this painting was to use a value pattern not suggested by the leaves and rocks. So I decided to use the light water to create a vertical composition. Well, not only did I have lots of challenges making the water work properly, the basic design was very poor - my lights weren't connected and the value pattern was kind of boring. I was very happy with the texture and color of the leaves, however. Mike says never give up. Maybe some day, I'll try and completely rework the water and rocks...
