Lately I've returned to a favorite subject of mine: trees. I found an old photo of a woodpile in my neighbor's woods in Maine. Color became the primary challenge.
The color choices are mainly the complementary colors of yellow and violet.
Note the shadows on the cut side of the logs. In the past, I might have chosen one value for all of them. By making half of the shadows darks and the other half midtones, there is more variety. There is also a chance to gradate the colors to indicate the reflected light.
I'm out of paper (on order) and with Thanksgiving coming up, I'll be taking a short break. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
