Into a Different Forest




This small painting was tough. I painted, scraped, repainted all last weekend and finally set it aside in disgust. The bottom image was the beginning, and the middle image was what I did when I returned to it mid week. I mostly covered it with random color. Then I started to move that around and this final forest came through.

Thank you for sharing your honest comments about your painting... I have been painting for 4 years and I have 1 of 208 painting that I am proud of... It gives me hope that an accomplished artist like yourself still struggles a bit.
I particularly like the bottom painting. It has a focal point and a limited palette. It's very peaceful...

Hi.. this is Bhavna and I truly admire your work. You really have an unconventional style, although quite different from mine but I genuinely respect it because it is unique. It would be great if you see my work at www.mesmerisingstrokes.com and we exchange our thoughts and broaden our insights.
