Plein Air Cypress trees with Spanish moss

So I'm on a roll (with 2 posts in 1 day) and have a bunch of art that needs to be published...for whoever might be interested in seeing it. Here's another piece I did last week plein air while in the Village of Fenney, central Florida. I was facing the sun so some of the photos are a bit washed. But the sequence is shown below. Painting cypress trees with Spanish Moss is fun. And the bugs were non-existent as was the heat.

 A quick sketch to get things positioned

 Darks, sky, tree trunks placed



I got to sit right next to the car so the final piece. 1.5 hours 11x14 oil on canvas panel
