New painting underway

[Dave Hawksford]

I took this pick a couple years ago. I was a bit late getting onto in the woods for a turkey hunt.
I was asked to enter a painting in the NWTF next year and needed a back drop for a couple Toms. So this is just getting underway. Kind of ugly at this stage.

Today's sit. I'm much more pleased with the progress. I can see the finished piece in my mind it's just the path I chose to travel. I've worked out my palette today which make sort of smooth sailing. In the past I would take the Salvador Dali approach and create what looks to be transparent but actually opaque. I'm going with washes and glazes. Much like the Sheep painting for depth of field.
Thanks for the comments. Very much appreciated.
