I continue to work on portraits and I am pleased with how this one turned out. I started by doing a monochromatic underpainting, which forced me to get the values right before adding color. I'm not sure I want everything I do to be this tight, but it was an interesting experiment.
I'm often surprised by the Texas landscape. I saw this view while out on a small island in the middle of Lake Travis (aka the Colorado River). I love the way the plants are growing right out of the shallow water.
