A friend asked if I did landscapes, I told him I’d tried one (Donegal Hills) but never had serious attempt. I offered to paint one for him if he found something he liked. He found this beautiful picture of a Cherry Blossom, I need to have a feeling for something before I paint and it just called out to me. I decided to take pictures as I progressed (I took a photo everytime I poured a drink lol) here is a photo after the initial block-in
There then followed about 10 photos like the one below
Ok drinking and photography don’t mix, I sometimes wonder how I manage to paint ; )
Somehow it came out quite good though and after my lesson of not painting the life out of things I decided to call it finished. I would love to have worked on the the tree more and a few other parts too so I gave it to him while the paint was still wet.
Here it is as I signed and put my brushes away ; )

Wow that is beautiful Roy! The starting out part would have had me wondering if anything good could come of it
It reminds me of the tree we used to have…well, not us, I guess we rented it along with the house. lol http://www.sliloh.com/blog/pictures/the-tree-i-left-behind/
