Number 5 – The Bushveld

Sometime earlier this year (2013) I started to work on a (you guessed it) rather ambitious work to paint a bushveld scene. I stopped while still busy with the background. I restarted the painting last week and the result is presented here. The process of taking the photograph of the painting washed out some of the colours, so the photo appears quite dull.

5 - Bosveld

I am reasonably satisfied with the painting, although I think that the sky could have been a little smoother, I recently learnt a trick to sort this out. I think I managed with the brush, the trees and the grass. It was quite challenging, but I feel confident of trying it again.
