Fir Tree study in oil
I'm not feeling to hot this weekend. I did do a couple small paintings. This is a 6x6. Think I'll turn the heat up and go veg out in front of " The Eye of Sauron" ( thats what I named my tv).
Sauron is a pussy cat compared to the TV. My best TV weapon is Tivo. Love the tree! Has a watercolor feel to it. I like the way you filled the whole space with it and your color selection. Vibrant and it indicates you are feeling well - what a magician you are.
I find the bigger the brush and the faster I can get my initial feeling for the subject down, the more alive the painting is Michele. But I fail more often that way too.
