The last update of the piece

I suddenly realized I probably wouldn't make much improvement from this point any further. Of course, I still need to work on some weak spots and details to call it done. But I can likely finish this in this weekend.

New Canvas Carrier is almost done

I'm now gluing right left bottom supports and it's almost done. I'm sure I need to adjust some portions after they dried up by putting it into the top case of my Moto Guzzi.

Putting life into another calf

Work on the left calf. i liked the outcome of the colors. Purple + orange worked surprisingly well. Before getting more details of the cows, I think I need to push values of the grass surrounding the cows next.

Still adjusting values of the shaddow part

I sensed the shadow part is not dark enough to compare to the lighter part, at the same time the shapes were not right. I still keep pushing the values. I started with the center. The island of rocks in the center is the good place to start.Other part would become relative to the center part.

I also darkened the white water splash not to stand out too much. The entire view was in shadow anyway.

I worked on one of calves in foreground. I haven't decided if I would make the colors warmer or cooler, or both. I probably won't decide until almost the last stage. It's getting interesting though. I just can't make progress on this painting as fast as I wanted.

Still don't know what this would end up with

Haven't touched this quite a while. But finally did something to it. At least it got some colors. But I still don't know what to do with this piece. The entire view was in shadow in early morning. Only two small spots were in sunshine. At this moment, I need to put some opaque colors on the white canvas. I guess only after that I can think about how to proceed.

Back support of the new canvas carrier

Framing the back side of support. Glooved back post and a pair of side post, then glued holizontal supports to only the back post at this moment. To keep the perpendicular angle of the supports against the back post, I clamped the side posts but not glued them yet.
