New phase

I am going through this phase where I love to paint trees, especially pine trees. They usually come in large numbers, show off depth well and easier to paint than a deciduous tree with 500 irregular branches. It's usually dark in the woods too which I like; it gives me an illumination level that's unique with an overall green brownish colour cast.

Heather took these nice pictures of me. The pictures seem bright but it was actually quite dark. In the second picture you can see the book light that I used to brighten my painting surface.
