Moving On

Here is a view of my latest work in progress. Layer number one is always (usually) a thin wash of burnt sienna over the whole canvas with a thicker application of the same color to create the image.   This layer is a bit ghostly and I sometimes find myself liking it so much it is hard to move on to the next step. 

But we must move onward and upward!  Yes?

For all at last returns to the sea, 

like the ever-flowing stream of time, 

the beginning and the end.

-Rachel Carson

Stay tuned; the next layer will be posted on Wednesday.
