another painting – heavenly forest
I have decided from this point on, to ignore the cheese-o-meter. I mean, so far, it hasn’t served me very well any ways. If I want butterflies, pretty birds and flowers – I shall have them, and no more criticism…
Good. That said, this painting is really fun. I thought it was totally destroyed, many,many times, and then in the end I am rather fond of it. I added text, which in the end, looks fine, but I am not sure if its something I would do again. But it does add contrast and so it serves well. Also, cant hurt having a little sacred text to keep me in line. It looks great on a blue wall.
I am working on four more paintings now. Really! Four paintings. I am loving all this art in my days. On quiet mornings when I dont know how I am going to make it through, I just remind myself of the painting on my easel. Then I get excited…

Like the subtlety of the text in this one, and the layers of contrast it plays with between the trees – an almost out-of-focus quality (which I like.)
The best ones seem to be the ones we come close to destroying, eh?

yes thats so true. I like the trees the best, but it took writing on it to appreciate them. Huh. lesson learned.
