Fall Painting

Today was one of the first days in a while that I had totally to myself. This morning I finished a book I was reading on my Kindle. Then I went to visit my friend Robin Egg, who fell and broke her arm last week. Hello Robin! She was all nested up in her recliner with her arm in a sling awaiting a cast next week. She had her gizmos in reach and her husband playing fetch and carry - she is a woman after my own heart. She was in remarkably good spirits and we had a nice visit.

I got home and had some lunch. Then I worked on a pastel painting that I started last fall. It was close to being finished, but it needed some tweaking (not to be confused with twerking).  After looking at it all winter, procrastinating, I tweaked it a bit. Here it is. It helps to post a pic of the painting. For some reason when I see it photographed, I can see things that might need some more tweaking.
It also helps to have my blog buddies critique. I have another painting I want to do. So who knows, maybe I will get in painting over spring break. If I do get one started, maybe it won't be next fall before it is done.

I think the trees are all three dimensional, but the leaves and the foreground have a two-dimensional feel to them.

You are out of sync. The fall scene in the spring :-)

Winter,
I've been tweaking the foreground every time I walk by. Thanks.

I like the out of sync comment!

We were in NM and I didn’t read blogs. I have a nice reader on my computer and haven’t found one I like on my iPad. So very behind.

I like the painting and will send you an e-mail. Hugs.

I really like the trees! Could we maybe try one like that in acrylics?
Cast is on....now for more healing time!

Jo, I'm glad you are back. I missed you.

Robin, we can try anything you want. No guarantees, though:)

"Fall Painting" - I thought you were painting a picture of your friend's tumble... or maybe painting the cast.

CTT, I do love a good pun.
