Symmetry of Oaks 2

Comments

I like the dry brush effect of the trees, Derek. And the distant scaffolding is an interesting and different backdrop. The foreground is nicely textured too. Lovely painting, nice to see something a bit different as a scene.

Thanks Ann, no dry brush here, I only use credit/debit cards with acrylic for all my work.

Yes, that definitely has something that catches the attention Derek. Caught mine.

Thanks for the clarification as to technique, Derek. I like credit / debit cards too for acrylic, but I get in such a mess!

I like how yellow and red works in this painting, also land with siluet in the cave.

Derek Snowdon

Eleventyeight as my hashing pals called my new age recently, it's supposed to sound better. Trying to paint every day in acrylics using only expired credit/debit cards, and partially succeeding as they're only for me and not show these days.
