Tree Tunnel II - The Beginning

I am pretty excited to paint another tree tunnel. This one is larger than my first painting a couple of years ago. I started with the first layer of vegetation at the sides of the road to make sure I get the perspective to the end of the road right. Then I lightly painted in the bottoms of tree trunks to see where shadows will fall across the road. Sun is coming in from the left (east on Kauai) so tree trunk shadows will be on the left with the shadow of the canopy of leaves at the top on the right. I have the photo darker so that you can see  better.
