WIP: Outcasts

Here's my latest, begun last week in painting class. This is another in my series from cherry blossom season at the Tidal Basin. I've had trouble in the past with how to handle foreground, but this is turning out well so far. The next step will be filling in the background, and fixing up the path. Sorry about the reflection on the left side of the painting; with a canvas this size it's hard to eliminate shine.

I've included the first stage photo as well as the current one. Oil on canvas, 29" x 22".
