progress so far ....
Still a little way to go but here is a quick update. I'm waiting for the paint to dry before working on it further.
You can see a bit of pentimenti* - the copper shape shining through in the trees at the back - some will remain but the unnatural shapes, like the circle and almost triangle, will be lost/adjusted in subsequent layers and glazes.
*Isn't that a nice word for an altered underpainting showing through?

Stunning! I too love those 4 trees!!!
This is promising to be a beautiful painting. The trees are amazing!
If I were the original painting I wouldn't mind in the least getting such a beautiful makeover. Hard to go past the 'love' for response to that group of trees.
Pentimento is a wonderful description.
thank you everyone :>) I've been so busy it hasn't been touched ... but I have been thinking about where next.
Magnificent work, Vivien : )
thank you Sadeu :>)
