Yup. I know... It's NOT EVEN OFFICIALLY SUMMER YET...and I am painting fall trees.....BEAUTIFUL fall trees. Here is what I have been working on the last few days. My pace is horribly behind, but I think I can catch up.
This painting was a COMPLETE PAIN IN THE SAAACK!!!! OMG...took me 7 hours to get to this point...lol. WAAAAY tooooo much time. I kept looking and looking... thinking something is just NOT right... then I go look at the others I had painted...oh ya.. leaves too big. So I scrape them off...POUNDS of paint.. and paint little leaves...ahhhh....hmmmm...NOPE ..still not right. Because I made the leaves so small... I then had to go back in there and add a ton more sky to make it all even...thought I was gonna have to shoot the painting and put it out of its misery...but alas, here it is finished and ready for etsy and the show.

Today I will paint ocean waves because when I am sweating in my bedroom at 7 am...it is way too damn hot to paint crisp fall breezes. lol. Happy Creating!!
Love Kathleen
When I did my fall tree, I had to redo the leaves too. To get dimension, I had to make the ones closer to the view bigger. And more detailed in my case. Detail...it's an OCD thing.

Your viewpoint/angle is curious and when the warm color of aspen leaves meets the cool blue sky it becomes a pop of whimsey, just beautiful. I painted a series of aspen trees last year 4 canvas @ 16x22" spring, fall, winter and summer is still in progress. The series is titled "wood for trees" can be viewed on flickr. I am inspired to finish painting 4 after seeing your work, thanks for sharing
