Next is a commissioned painting for Joshua Pauley. Here's my sketch.
Starting to paint the ground. I broke my palette knife today. I guess that means I was working hard or something.

I got lots of work done today. I added yellow/orange to the sky and water. And I started painting the fence and the rose too. ( I decided to flip the direction of the rose.)

I started to add the rose vines.
I worked on the rose a lot today. I like it better now. I also made the fence post reflections longer and added a little to the vine.

ICE DAY!!! I had lots of time to paint today because I didn't have to go to work.
Today I tried to figure out where I want the reflections to be. I moved the fence posts out further and added part of the vine. I also changed the shape of the water some as well as added the stem to the rose. And obviously I changed the sky color. I will probably change the color of the ground too.

Another ICE DAY! YAY!
I worked on the sky, water and ground today. I am trying to figure out the color scheme...

I added the rocks and some purpley blue shadows on the fence. I also decided to get rid of the rose stem. I am still working on the ground color amongst other things.

I worked on the ground color more today. I think that the foreground is coming together, but the background still needs work.

I am still working on the ground color. I added some more contrast to the foreground and shadows under the rocks. I also brought the vines and fence posts back to life.
I worked on the rose vine a lot today. I added reddish thorns and blue roses. I also began adding rose pedals to the foreground. I also added brown to the wire on the fence.

I started working on the water more today. I have a lot more work to do on it. It is sort of annoying me right now. More to come...

My battle with the water continues. More to come...

It's starting to come together! I still have to change the color on the fence wire and add the thorns and roses to the reflection. I also need to work on the rose petals more. But I'm almost done.

I changed the color of the ground again. (One color can make the whole thing come alive, if you want to know the truth.) I also worked a little on the reflection of the fence wires. More to come...

I worked on the rose today. I also added some contrast to the foreground with dark brown. Also I added a splash of brown to the rocks to make them blend in a bit better.

Almost done... seriously.
I added the roses and worked on the fence more today.
