Here is a painting that went through a number of transformations before I was happy with it.At first the two hippos were just a boring gray including the water .This was due to the fact that the photos I was working from, had been taken on a cloudy and wet day on the Chobe River.But after pulling it out from storage one day ,I suddenly knew what it needed,So the water was made blue almost black in the foreground,water lilies were then added including one which is sliding off one of the Hippos backs.Then green reeds were also added in the far background and then finally all the reflections. The end result was a much more bright and colorful painting which I am now pleased with.
