Still working on it...this one's coming very slowly. It sat around for almost a year until I got inspired again.  I added some mountains in the right background and started shaping the trees in that same area. Just to give you an idea of what goes into a painting... here is some of the creative process, assisted by Dreampacker at photo research and editing.



This is a photo taken in North Fork (near Ogden, Utah) that we used as a reference to add trees and a mountain view to the upper right corner of the painting.


This is the "overlay" of the North Fork photo onto the painting, which I used to paint the details.
I also used this "overlay" of  another photograph to create a reference for adding more trees.



99% Finished, February 14, 2013.  Notice the additional detail on the trees and  I touched up a few other places.
