Haze Into the Hills

From this point, it is the rush to the finish.  Most of this painting felt like the finish.  What I mean is that usually when I get to a certain point everything becomes evident-there is no decision making it is all about doing.

The trees in the foreground were needed to create a deeper feeling of distance in the painting.

The feeling I get when I am finished is one akin to the feeling when you are finished eating.  There is just no need to do more.  It is done.  I am full.
