I don’t have a particular subject in mind when I paint this today. All I know is that I love to paint trees. So I allow myself to paint this thin red tree.

I find myself getting good at painting sky washes. I remembered feeling intimidated whenever the thought of laying a wash is needed. I smiled now at how practice truly makes a work “perfect”. Above is a wash in pink and orange hues with a tiny tint of yellow.  I love how the colors just blend and become light to almost nothing.

The finished painting reminds me of my ideal place to be–Nature. I haven’t really been climbing mountains or going on an overnight nature outing. Someday I hope to be travelling to many places and appreciate the wonders of the world.
