Good job, the stems especially look great.

I really like the road painting. Have you been doing these on location?
EDIT: looks like I caught you while you were still typing some details! Some apparently were done o location.

By the way, one of my daughters tried out the canvas pad at Hobby Lobby with acrylic in this case and really enjoyed it. Thanks for the review.

It works well for what she does, which is make cards. She can cut each sheet into several small paintings and then paste them on. It winds up being more affordable than the Strathmore cards (which we also like), and takes heavier washes.

I'm glad she liked the canvas. Isn't it a shock how thin it is. I bet you could put it in a home printer and make canvas prints.

Yes, she said it was like painting on fabric. That is an interesting concept on the printing.

Re-worked this one.

Been a while since I did any art.

I like the blue shading, showing distance.

Yeah, it was hard to get the middle portion right. You have less saturation, but in this case darker shades. Hard to pull off. But the blue works pretty well to show haze and such.

Saw this scene on a drive the other day. Mostly bare limbs out there these days.
