Thinking Beauty

She contemplates the meaning behind various things, and mother nature lends a hand.

This is the final, painted version of the sketch work I uploaded previously. The goal here was to experiment with bolder, brighter, more dynamic color choices and use more saturation than I normally would. I worked with fewer strokes for better brush economy and attempted to improve in other areas that were lacking in previous paintings that featured water. All things considered, it was a successful painting in so far as what I wanted to do with it, and I'm happy with how quickly I was able to produce it. With each painting lately I've been spending less and less time producing quality results, and I'm eager to keep this momentum going.
