I have spent two days working on this picture. I thought it was finished after the first day but then I went back in the changed several things. I was trying to work in a more loose fashion, but the more I tweaked it, the more detailed it became. It's still probably the least detailed of all the art I have done to date.
It's a photo reference from the March Landscape challenge on Wet Canvas - several other people have done the same picture and it's always interesting to see how others interpret the same photograph.
Update: I worked on this some more after receiving some constructive suggestions from people I consider to be experts. The feeling was that the bush in the middle got in the way and stopped the eye from moving on into the picture, so I have changed it slightly, removed the bush and suggested the continuation of the stream on to a small pond at its end.
