The 4rth

So I was to lazy to paint yesterday. Woke up early enough today to get a move on things.

I was going for a sunset type painting, but I got to much blue in the sky and not enough red. So its barely noticable.

I decided to put a bunch of mountains in this one as I liked the last one I did that had a crapload of them.

I was pretty pleased with them at this point.

Highlighting wasn't my strong suite today. But in the end they ended up looking decent. These pics put to much glare and not enough contrast, so just know they look better than this ;)

Yea...Moving on.

Went for some foothills and distant trees which you'll see in a sec.

Next came the closer foothills, I was trying to keep the sheen accross the water. But I had ADD moments, so not sure how well I achieved that goal :)

Had to have a pine tree or two in there.

Honestly I had no idea how to tie the front of this painting together. So I just went for something.

Alright...Sticks and twigs and grass. Woo hoo. It needed something. Eh, why not go all out and screw it up by putting a couple trees in the front? Never tried them before.

At this point I was just grinnin ear to ear because I love the way those trees came out. I was actually pretty happy with the way things were coming out.
