I had the busiest day yesterday! I can't even believe how much I got done :) I slept SO well last night.
I chose to paint this little scene because I liked the shadows, sunset shadows are the best. And I liked the the dark telephone poles against the light colored sky.
There's something so wonderful about these trees, this is my second try at capturing them in paint. I'm much happier with this attempt. I approached it differently than I normally do, I started with what I can only call a "fuzzy" underpainting. Sometimes I don't work with an underpainting at all, and other times it's completely necessary, and I can't really explain why...this is why I'm not a...
I love how this one turned out. When I started it I expected it to be painful and challenging to complete, but it turned out to be one of those rare wonderful happenings where the painting you want just flows right into existence.
I'm excited about today, I have lots of time to paint this afternoon and I'm going to try out a few new techniques. Maybe something good will happen :)
