Golden willows at the Ford

Another very hot day, and my paint was setting up fast. When I used a bit of medium to spread the paint, it tended to wipe it off. Not helpful, but certainly character building.

I've been using up my alkyd paints, and have been brushing more. When painting with a knife fast setting paint is not an issue. You just scrape a little harder. Never mind. We made it. I think that the final painting works.

This is the old cattle crossing ford on the lower Maitai River. My dogs used to love it. Especially the river rushing through the small arches. Jim would paddle around it and sniff the hidden spaces. Very dog friendly.
