one more try


I tried this one once more- this time on canson mi tientes smooth side - I got some things right but I'm still having trouble with the leaves and the dark bunches of leaves-- I think I keep making them too much alike - I like the background and the sunrise and the fore ground- but I have to study trees with leaves - they are very difficult - for me at least - Ive had a great labor day weekend-- I made three pieces of art - They were great practice pieces and I learned from each - We also had a nice day on the boat - and dinner at red lobster -

Kathleen:

I'm overjoyed that you are challenging yourself with trees!

I not only love trees themselves..I am compelled to draw, paint, and sketch them. They are my favorite...come out in practically every piece I create.

It's actually a conscious effort to leave them out of my work.

I see you managing it well in the pieces you have posted here. Keep at it..it won't be long before your works w/pastels and trees are as breathtaking as your watercolor and acrylic works....I'm confident of that.

So nice to see...
Tracey
