Enlightenment

In this piece I wanted to show the viewer beautiful details they might enjoy.  The strength of composition is the guiding force, carrying the viewer through the sketch.

A touch of bright yellow enhances and strengthens the composition.
 
 Some additional highlights build a mosaic of abstract shapes and forms.  Bright yellow ochres dance through the trees like falling leaves. 
The surroundings outline the river, but it is not yet formed.
I add more trees to build more mystery around the center of interest.  I deepen the golden ochres and raw sienna to add depth.  I also add dark warms and cools to add strength to the foreground.
