<p><h1>I am almost finished with the tree. Shadowing happens with the 3rd layer.</h1></p>

<p><h3>The little girls face and hands need detail work and her jawline needs refining. I will finish her when I am done with the background and foreground. I promise she will outshine the horse...hahaha</h3></p>

<p><h3>I added shadows under the horses feet so people wouldn't tell me I had to fix the horses feet.</h3></p>

<p><h3>The grass won't be yellow for long, I will be adding different kinds of blues on top of the yellow to give the foreground some depth and perspective.</h3></p>
<p><center><h3>I won't be adding clouds to the sky, there is always too much detail going on...hahaha</h3></center></p>

<p>I spent the Friday and Saturday kicking back and hanging with my poor sick husband. I Made some chicken soup today as well. I got sick yesterday but shook it off in a couple of hours, horrible headache and super tired. I went to bed and slept for 4 hours yesterday, and only ate apples and nuts...hahaha<p>

<p>When I woke up a headache was gone, and I had lots of energy, I spent my spare time finishing up the apple tree, I will add some shadows later to give some depth to the tree. I do that the third layers. Now it's time to start on the back pastures and the barn.</p>

<p>I am looking forward to a productive week! I see getting sick like cleaning house and I always have so much energy after the sickness leaves</p>

I'll spend the rest of the weekend working on the details of my apple tree. I love the intense concentration it takes to create details, it's so soothing!

<p>The apple tree dark green shadow work is done with a sap green, red, and dark true green. I used Payne's gray for outlining the leaves and apples after I outlined the mess with the dark green shadow mix. </p>
