Red Tree

I painted this tree from a photo before going to Big Cedar and I sold it there so wanted to try it again. As usual, my second try at a subject never turns out as good as the first one. It does not have the spontaniety the other one had. I hated I did not get a picture of it as I felt I got it a bit more impressionistic than I usually do. I wish I could loosen up more but it is hard for me to do. This is a 5x7 Golden Open Acrylic, painted on a Pintura panel from ASW. They are neat little panels. I had fun doing this. The trees are so beautiful right now but I guess soon I will probably be painting snow scenes. UGH!
