Trees

I've been thinking about trees for years and wanting to paint some so I gave it a try last month.

4 Trees I9" x 12" acrylic on canvas ($112 - SOLD)
Much better picture than the last one. In my bright and sunny world I have to wait for a partly cloudy day and then take pictures quickly while the sun is behind the clouds. It takes a while to get good pictures, especially when my two kids are trying to feed me pretend food (sand and rocks) or getting their shadows in the way.

Most of the time when I start some new kind of painting I like the original painting the best, but in this case I like the second painting best, mostly. I like the color of the sky in the first painting best.

I struggled with this one for a little while and didn't really like it. The other day as I walked into my studio and glanced at it I decided it was pretty good. I kind of like painting really small every once and a while.
