Stepping Across

Wow! Where have I been? Dunno. Just know I haven't been posting. I have, however, been drawing and painting. I had an idea to paint stepping stones as a new subject. I like the metaphoric, multiple meanings. I found a photo online

and started from there. I sketched on my paper, 11 x 14, which is twice as large as the screen on my Ipad. I extended the sides, the top and bottom. . I did not enlarge the stones. It was not intentional; I just wasn't thinking. The very thing I wanted to be the focus of my picture, shrunk in relation to all that water. I also changed the scale by accident. It's real easy to change the whole composition, if that's what you want. I enjoyed making this piece, but if I do it again, I would address the issues I just listed. Oh well. I'll use this experience as a stepping stone to creating pictures closer to what I envision.
