Rainbows in the Lehigh Valley Gorge

[TMo]

Got rid of the white rocks.  Had some leftover gray paint from painting the walls of my garage and used that for the base.  Added touches of white and black as I went along and the paint was still wet, and just concentrated on abolishing the white and establishing areas that might be rocks or rock faces.  The more vertical the slope, the more rock I "exposed". On areas with more moderate slope, I'll have a lot more opportunities to add ground covers, shrubs and trees. 

In later phases of painting, I'll bring out graining in the rock and add some other colors (for instance, everything right of the bridge will be in shade for most of the day and will be subject to moss growth), but for now, at least I have a base that I can work with.  The plaster also soaks up paint and I'll have to return layer and hit some small white areas.  I'll probably work on some of that stuff tonight and re-evaluate tomorrow night.
