If ever I've fought an epic battle with a painting, it was with this one. This piece was a real beast. I even had to set it aside for a while and not look at it so I could come back to it with a fresh eye. Even so, it still has all kinds of problems - like the poorly defined lighting. I'm pretty happy with the color overall, but there are all kinds of little problems with it - I really don't like the leaves on the trees even though I painted them twice. Ah well, it's a personal piece and I just can't bring myself to keep working on it - time to move on to something new!

10 x 11" Acrylic & a little colored pencil

Lovely!!!! :love: To me this piece seems to be so mundane and at the same time to fairytale like. Oh how I wish I could paint things like this. At times I have notions like this when you go out for a walk and the wind is ever so light and refreshing. Moments you enjoy. Moments that is just an every day blessing. This is what this painting makes me feel. So I say even if it has flaws to you to me you did what a painting should. It makes me want to appreciate the small things much more. :hug:

Reminds me of the lighting that David Catrow uses in his pieces....cool in the foreground and yellow backgrounds. Even though you don't like the tree leaves, I do like that they feel like wind is blowing through them. It creates a nice sense of contrast between the air above the forest, and the still air below. You've really created 2 environments here, so I can see why it was challenging! Well done, though!
