That's a unique mountain back there. I like it, especially the way the green works its way down and around the slopes. It can be fun to just paint whatever comes to mind.

Thank you. I agree. I notice for me when I start without a plan it’s much more freeing. Although I tend to get stuck on foreground things. But joy nonetheless.

I think I'm going to be using this mountain range as a guide for my next painting. Mine probably won't come out this good, but...

You should have seen my first painting. Almost quit. Was anything but joyful. Wife encouraged me to keep going. Mountains and trees were and sometimes still are my biggest problem but I think it’s true that what are challenges for us when we paint also help grow us on our artistic journey. I come from a stick figure background. Never believed I could paint. But as you mentioned, Bob made it look easy :). Very thankful for this site and I enjoy viewing everyone’s work. Look forward to seeing your next piece :)

Wives are good at encouraging us, aren't they? God bless her for doing so. This work turned out great.

I'm a stick-figure guy, too. And even with those, my artwork was sketchy at best. Now, thanks to Bob's show, I'm extremely pleased that I can paint a somewhat decent picture these days. Heck, I'm pleased when I can remember blue and yellow make green. 🙂

Regards.

Lol. My five year old girl always looks at me and says blue and yellow make green dad! Yes I’m very blessed to have her to encourage me. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement today as well :)
