I see a few things in the painting that I might like to adjust. Even as it is, I am still pleased with this painting.

A few years ago, I seed-bombed this open field. I was hoping to see a visual feast of native flowering plants blanketing this field. I think I noticed a few unfamiliar flowering plants, but I am not sure if they were from the seeds I have scattered. Maybe next year. Fingers crossed.

on again off again, but it will get there

this painting has been on the wall and off the wall, in storage and out of storage, on the easel and off the easel for the past two years. it’s back on the easel for some edits. to my eyes, i see more needed edits but i will leave them for some other time. otherwise i am quite please with how it is evolving.
