11-21-2010 Last update.... Progress is slow. Some days are better than others. Will be off for a day or two before I can finish this.
11-21-2010 Update - cropped subject to examine my work. I did the trees with Sennelier which is softer than Rembrandt and gives softer, less precise lines. Colors in this image are not exact, but I'm looking at the quality of the process.

I have "completed" the sky. My object was to make it attractive and believable without making it a focal point. I've laid in the the basic color objects with out definition. It is time now to evaluate the relative values and color relationships. The actual colors are warmer than this photo shows.

Line drawing on UArt - grid mostly erased - line drawing to define major shapes, color masses. I sprayed this graphite drawing with fixative so that it won't bleed through onto the image.
A grid drawing on a work this size is necessary for me, especially when I'm not working with the view before me. With my MS, I seem to have lost the ability to improvise. I've discovered that I have to work out details, eliminate and add features, move items, decide on focus, values, and movement with care because I can't do those things in the fly anymore.

Started larger work on UArt 27x21 using reference drawing and photos from the spring of 2009.
