      This is from a photo I took on the Dan River back in June and the second attempt at painting it. The first time I tried this one, I overworked the foreground shore multiple times. So, this time I left it white to vignette only the line marking where the water and sand meet. That didn't seem to work, either. It was far too bright. So, I added in the abstract color you see now. Maybe it's done now.

      Another one from New South Wales, Australia for Virtual Paintout. Just about hit this one out of the park; no pun intended. This is the kind of image I spend a lot of time searching for each month for Virtual Paintout. Leading lines, depth, contrast and at least a little color are all here.
