I started with putting in the main tree on the left side of the painting by putting in the under paint for the needles with Antwerp blue and raw sienna.

Next using a grey of French ultramarine blue and burnt sienna I put in the tree trunk and branches.
I will post this painting at a later date as more work on it has been completed.
I would like to thank Mr. Derrick Ryan of Hastings, Ontario on his purchase of Great Horned Owl (see post on 08 April 2013) to add to his collection.
