Back to the Easel 

I really have been working on this painting a lot since my last post - in fact, I feel like I'm in the home stretch now! Of course, the most critical part of the whole painting is the two little fishermen on the pier. There are a few more details, like the shadows under the pier and bridge, the addition of some red leaves in the background trees, breaking up that dark area behind the tree trunks, and painting the edges. OK, that's still a lot of work. When will I ever be able to estimate the time it takes to do a painting? Does anyone have a magic formula? Anyone?
