We have good painting weather. Our group was out painting from the bike path running along west Davis pond. The trees are bare of foliage for the most part but there is some green vegetation in the background. I had trouble developing a focal area in this painting. The bare trees were back lit with the morning sun. This gave them a very black and deep value. When I put in the couple on the bench for my focus area, it was no competition with the dark trees. I lightened the tree value but I was still not satisfied.
