Creating "Serenity"

I mentioned towards the end of May about a photo I had taken of a Japanese garden and was trying to decide upon the best crop to use. That decision is now past and I am working on the piece. In the end, I expect the title will be "Serenity" as that is what comes to mind as I construct it.

The view that I eventually selected

Here is a glimpse of my WIP - part of the upper right area prior to the bridge, red tree, and other foliage being added. There is actually a fence that runs across 2/3 of the scene and is barely visible.


You can see how I have used some of that organza that I ice-dyed at the end of June.

Now I am focusing on all that is in front of the fenced area. Gradually, it is coming together!

I am linking this to Nina-Marie's Off the Wall Friday blog, so please check out what others have been doing this week.
