Spent a couple of hours working on my picture today.  As usual for me I am getting bogged down in detail.  The photo reference is from Washington State when we were driving in the mountains, but there is a pine forest involved and I am spending more time than I like trying to get a realistic representation of the trees.  I wish I could loosen up my style a bit and become a bit more impressionistic.  I like the look, but seem to be incapable of achieving it.  

I ordered a full spectrum lamp today.  It'll take about a week to get here, but will be a big help when the light begins to fade at about 4.00 pm every day.
