It was necessary at this point to finish the sky and the water, so it was time to add the batting and the backing. With all the anticipated tree/branches etc it would have been impossible to get at either to quilt them properly.
The sky was straightforward but the water required a good hard look at the original photo. The water in the foreground is not exiting from a stream but from a large pool whose left hand side is shaded by both reeds and branches. The reeds give it the colour as they are the edge of the pool and responsible for the shadow there. The branches are well forward from the edge of the water.
There is more stitching to add to the water, more colours even though most of it will disappear.
