The colors in the shadow under the tree and the turquoise and lavender in the background all work so well together. I understand what you mean about finding "my" way to paint something . . . there will be days when no result looks good to you but keep at it! Something clicks periodically. I also struggle with landscapes.

I especially like those green branches but also the circular "pushing" of the shadow and grasses to the tree trunk and the bushes. Really effective.<br /><br />Trees are such a struggle though aren't they? and finding your own way to render them is tough-as I said, great job!Libby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2112630515552086897.post-45752208166858068002012-04-05T20:56:42.620-07:002012-04-05T20:56:42.620-07:00Jean, I can see the ballerina thing.
