Work Art 05-26-2014

Working on Memorial Day.  Haven't done that for a while. More green out the window everyday.  I hope you all understand that I am leaving the parking lot out of my pictures.  Otherwise you would be seeing cars, trucks, light posts and campers instead of trees and grass.  Actually, the grass is all in my head and so are the paths.  I was watching a show on PBS yesterday about how to paint roads or paths so I decided to add some into my picture. I also added more purplish shadows.  I usually like blue. I like it.

This is the same painting but as you can see the colors are very different.  The one on top is the original, the one on the bottom was "auto enhanced" by my computer program.  Usually, I like the enhanced version, but in this case the contrast is too much, the colors are not right.  Which version do you like?
