Painting #246 - It sure is a lot easier to create a painting from a photograph. Usually, I create my landscapes from memory and feeling but I had a reference photo for this piece. This painting is my last for 2017 and marks my 30th piece of the year! Whew, I didn't think I was going to meet that goal this year. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Painting #245 - I always use molding paste when I paint coniferous trees and I honestly didn't know if I could paint one without it! I'm happy with my result.

Painting #244 - I didn't plan on painting my tree this way, however, this is what I got. I like the addition of rhinestones in the piece. The whole painting lights up when the sun hits it!

Painting #243 - I really enjoyed painting the river bank in this piece. I like the design of the three distinct areas in the foreground: the underground, the water and shadows, and the bank.

Painting #242 - I thought I'd paint a bit bigger this time. I like the loose strokes in the background, however, I'm still struggling with my foreground deciduous trees. These will have to do for now.
