 I worked on my portrait a little bit. I had already applied fixatif so it was hard to make small changes. 

I worked on The Big Maple a little bit and did another by doing the yellow background first and then cutting in the tree. I made the bark a little rougher. I might try it again in winter with snow. 

I’m going to paint some landscapes from my youth. This is from the lighthouse pier in Grand Haven. My grandfather and I used to fish here first thing in the morning and catch buckets of pearch. There’s a lot of detail work to be done. This is watercolor on canvas which give me a lot of room for adjustment.
