A Bunch of Tiny Little Green Dots

I love a good wooded scene, but I will say it gets tiresome painting in all those little green dots after a while. I took a stab at a brief color study of this painting, which I'm hoping to begin working on later on this week. I don't feel like I really got the warmth of the leaves as the sun shines through them - the whole painting feels a bit cooler than I'd like. But that's what the study is for. To help me figure out what could be a difficulty in the actual painting. So I guess it did it's job. I think tomorrow I'll work on finishing up the painting of the field from last week, and hope to get started on this one on Wednesday.
