Some Paintings For Today

I got a lot done today, and here's the work:

On the above, worked mainly on cleaning up some of the buildings on the left. It's going to be a slow process, waiting for each new layer of paint to dry before working on adjacent areas.

 I sanded off most of the plate. It had too many visible brush marks. This and the one below are examples of me overthinking stuff and going too far. That being said, today's session went relatively well, so we'll just have to see how it turns out.

 Overpainted the plate. Will probably have to sand this one down, too.

It took a long time, but I figured out how to resolve the foreground. Painted some red/green mixes on the reedy stalks, and added some fuzzy flowers; more to come.

And last:

A little mystery here:
