Adventures in Oil

Today I started an oil painting and what an adventure it is becoming. I want to play with light as well as color and include aspects of Brussels - rain, parts of downtown and the wonderful wooded areas. So I am taking "poetic" (or should I say "artistic") license in this painting by incorporating them into one scene. This is what I have accomplished so far.

I plan to work more color and light variations into the trees on the right tomorrow.
