Gary ... once again as I read along in this thread, I get that "knowing smile!"
It is all coming together quite nicely! (Gary is looking and seeing ... and doing ... and doing quite convincingly!)
This bayou vignette will be a tough act to follow!
... and Pete ... you took me totally by surprise with your comment re: the "implying depth to an object" tricks of fine artists! But using them here is a concept that is right on! (Did you watch those Jon Nagy "How-To Art Shows" on "Saturday morning occupy-the-kids' TV" back in the late fifties/early sixties? That's the type of artists' tricks he used to show us kids how to do. I'm amazed I even remembered that just now!)
And the use of judiciously-placed trees as "casual" view-blocks is absolutely brilliant, Gary!
