The mighty White River

I have been working a few days over months on what I'll probably call "The Source" as it is start of one great fork of the White River, but I seemed to just look upon the space for the water and not quite want to fill it in.  I finally did, but did not much like the result.  I grabbed a small panel to try out a piece of the water.  The first... became a bit of mud.


So I stepped back and thought about it a little longer and tried again.


It certainly makes me a bit happier.  The colors together seem odd, though.  They are accurate enough, but not exactly believable.  I really do need to think a lot more about color.

(These are acrylic on 7"x5" canvas panel from 12 March 2017.)
