Scottish Highlands - The trees

I started to add the trees to the middle ground so this is almost finished

Scottish highlands - Part Three

Tonight's post is the continuing work on the Scottish Highlands.  I was not happy with the sky and I worked on it some to add depth and texture to the clouds and the sky.  I added some foreground and middle ground details and started to sort out the reflections.  I will add some tree details to the middle ground and to the high ground on the left.  This is pretty close to the finish just some small things to make the difference.

Wife's Birthday

Yesterday was my wife Barbara's Birthday.  We were running around at the beach and dinner so I am posting this a day late.  She really likes the Day of the Dead motif so I usually do something along those lines for her.  This was done in colored markers. So Happy Birthday Love.

Pine Tree Deer

A little bit of an experiment.  I will probably redo this with watercolor instead of colored pens.  I think I can get better color differentiation but not a bad study and worth working on until its perfect.

Tree Calligraphy

I little tree calligraphy done with colored markers.

Swamp Cypress

This is a pen sketch of a Swamp Cypress tree on a bank.  More practice for the 10000 hours of mastery.

Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak

I think I have finished this one.  I worked on the foliage and the tree trunks.   I will leave this alone for a bit and see if I still think so.  If you are ever in Colorado Springs go to the Garden of the gods, especially near sunset.   This is a larger oil painting at 16in x 20in.
