Another origianal from a picture my daughter took

My daughter posted a picture a couple days after I completed the last Moore Art project. I had loved the way my trees and logs had turned out in that painting and when I saw this photo, I wondered if I could do more trees and logs.


There is a lot of artistic liberty taken since most of the logs on the ground were twigs and branches and I did not feel that I was able to do that detailed work yet. So I just made them bigger.


As my own critic, I don't like the foliage on the trees. If I were to repeat this, which I likely will, I would paint them from the background forward (which means a lot more planning of color saturation and graying but allows me to complete background trees and layer on the ones in front. I would also use my new fan brush for the foliage, and make the white flowers in the foreground more recognizable or leave them out entirely. The rest will just come with more experience. (of course I need to complete the sign but my penmanship is awful)
