This is wonderful, Satu and I think you have achieved all you set out to do. So hard to do a forest without it looking heavy, but you have managed to convey the denseness of the trees in a light and subtly colourful way.

Satu, I really love this, one of your best! The colours, the atmosphere, everything, it's brilliant!!

The coolness is the first feeling I got Satu, (did you use cerulean blue) it's also got that clean, crisp freshness of an Autumn/winter woodland scene.

I do like these striking paintings of yours Satu. Really good colour in this one as well!

It's already been said! It's very effective and striking. Just right.

This is one of the best Satu. I love painting trees, and your abstraction especially the splurges of red are great

This is another stunning work. I love the handling of the paint, the colours. Very beautiful.

Thea, Christine, Fiona, Louise, Gudrun, Pat and Jane. Thank you so very much for your lovely, encouraging comments! Fiona, I first covered the board with warm grey and then for the sky I used Cobolt blue mixed with white and a little bit of grey. All done with a palette knife, again!

So lovely - wonderful colours and so well painted Satu.

A super painting Satu. There is lovely depth in this - I could sit and stare at it for a long time. Lovely colours, and good strength in the shapes.

Love this one Satu, great colours

Right at the top of the days postings Satu - great composition and as for the colours chosen,,,,,,,,,,,

Jane, Julie, Petra and Michael. Thank you so much for your kind comments, much appreciated!

I have tried to capture the cool autumn atmosphere of the Finnish forest. Dry branches, ripening lingonberries, moss and the rich, crisp smell of the earth preparing itself for the long winter. Acrylic painting on board 60cm x 60cm.
