A tree in progress. I would like to make this less dark, add more color-especially in the earth. This image isn’t true to the painting though. It’s a bit strong on the contrast. There is a softness to this painting in real life that is getting lost in this image.
But it helps my eye to view this on the computer screen. Something about further removing myself from the actual painting. Eventually I will get back to this painting. Right now taking a break from oils.
oil and mixed media, 6 x8 inches
I’m about to head in a totally different direction with my paintings. I’m not totally done with these. But I need to listen to what that inner voice is whispering to me. I’m a bit nervous as it will be different and speaking to something very personal. I’ll see how it goes.
