It is extremely humid today and I am not working as efficiently as I would like.  I have blocked in some negative space and foliage on the left hand side of the canvas.  I am about to block in the foliage on the right hand side of the tree and then I will leave it until tomorrow.  I wouldn't normally work on a canvas this small but it is the size chosen by the student and so to be most helpful to her I decided to produce one the same size.
