More progress. I worked on defining the boats more, adding detail. You can see a difference, but they are by no means complete. I am leaving the paint "brushy" with the strokes showing, juicy. I am not trying for photo-realism, more like expressive representation. I also added the stuff on the dock. I have not repainted  the water or the vertical supports of the dock, yet. I am not being real particular about perspective, especially where the foreground items are concerned, the ladder. Some things are "indicators" not literal objects. I'm trying to de-emphasize the background items, using less detail there so the attention remains on the front 2-3 boats. I think my next step is the top right corner, where the shoreline is. That will be tricky because I don't want it to move forward unintentionally. I am itching to do the water, but am saving it as a treat. In the original photography there were many reflections of clouds, which I may leave out. I don't want the picture to get too busy and I want the deep blues to really shine.
