The blooming dogwoods at the top of this street led me to this location. In my pre-sketch, I found that I downplayed the bright white blooms. As I painted, the whole scene demanded my attention, and the white blooms simply did not work in the composition. I painted them out, with only the slightest hint that they were ever there. It is a funny thing how a painting will take on a life of it's own sometimes, no matter what I thought my focus would be initially. This 1561st painting in 1561 days has already sold to the family who lives on that upper bluff :)
Another amazing piece of art. I love how you matched your painting to the real rocks.
