Rhododendrons

This is a painting that I am working on. It is actually moving along pretty quickly, and I am really enjoying painting it. So many pretty pinks!  Oil on canvas, 12x12. I wasn't getting the right pinks with just my alizarin crimson and cad red, but fortunately I happened to have some rose (rose something?) oil paint that was perfect.
I took the photo for this in the spring up at Raven Cliff Falls. It's a very dramatic picture, one of the best I've taken. As soon as it's finished I'll put it up here!
