A Walk in the Woods

Tom0779 18 Aug 2023

As there’s the 40th anniversary of ‚The Joy of painting‘ this year I thought I have to create my own interpretation of the first episode.
So here it is. I made it much darker than Bob on purpose. I wanted to give a morning feeling when the sun just rises ad there are still dark and light contrasts. So my painting might look very different from the original. I didn't want to put in the foreground tree as I had already so much paint on the canvas. It would have been possible if I let it dry for some days but I am not that patient, lol.

Really wonderful job! Love everything about this one!

Beautiful Tom, really love this 😍

I love your take on this one Tom!

Without seeing the title I recognized immediately it was Bob's first episode. Your sky is smashing and I like the division of the water in seperate puddles.

Wow, I mean wow!

Much better than Bob's!

Super Arbeit Tom . Ich sehe in diesen BILD einen mix der Technik von Bob und Bill aber das mag subjektiv sein 👍🏼🇩🇪🇦🇹Great work

Thank you Sandy!

Many thanks Nivek!

Thanks a lot Brian!

Thank you Jos. I think the puddles needed a division here. I didn't like the one in front looking like a lake almost.

Thank you Laura!

Thank you Tomi. I just wanted to make this different. I do not like the strong tendency to purple Bob has in some of his paintings. So I used much more blue here.

Thanks Dirk. Definitely Bill influences me a lot. I prefer his style much more than others I have seen yet.
