Finishing Methods - Painting 1

I finally decided to use a toothbrush to apply the lights and shadows in the lower left of Painting 1. I could not use timelapse because I had to lay the canvas horizontally. Then I 'spritzed' wet paint off the toothbrush over/through a template I cut out. This helped to cause a more realistic effect of light and shadows. In both paintings 1 and 2, I took some artistic license in interpreting the scene in terms of light, shadow and color, to some extent. The image of the paintings don't quite capture what I see, IMHO.
