Helen's Grove

"Helen's Grove," Acrylic on Panel, 12x9"

A dear friend of mine wanted to buy one of my paintings (below).  Unfortunetly, it had already sold, so I decided to make her another.  I didn't look at the original painting for color reference and it's  interesting to see the different choices I made in this version. It's almost the inverse of the first. I also found it interesting to see how my technique had changed since I painted the first -- more translucence and layered colors.
