Recap of First Painting in Huddart Park



(Keep in mind this is step 1 on this painting!!)

When Sheryl and I painted the several weeks ago at Huddart Park  it was so beautiful and we really enjoyed ourselves.  We were happy with what we painted, we weren't finished with them but figured they were pretty good.  Then when we got home and looked at them----OH MY GOD!  They were soooooo dark.  It was really shocking.  So I figured I would post my attempt and show you.  It even looks lighter in the photo than in reality.  Still can't get over it.  I kind of like it because it brings back the day and the scene in my minds eye but I will paint it again either over it or larger and bring up the value.  It was dark down in the woods but REALLY not THAT dark!!

While there, Topher Simon, a volunteer photographer with the San Mateo County came by and took our photos.  I would have posted one of Sheryl but didn't know if she would appreciate that!
