North Carolina Tree Study

'Mountain View' 6x6 pastel
I haven't been good about painting trees more frequently but I decided to do a little one yesterday. It is from a photo I took on a visit to the North Carolina mountains last summer.
I had the best time yesterday creating collages with Jayne & Holly. I am sorry I don't have anything to post....but I couldn't finish. It had to dry before I could go onto the next step. Now this totally goes against my work habits...I want it finished Now!!! But I will have to learn patience. It was so much fun playing with Jaynes huge rubber stamp collection and she was right...I will never look at a piece of paper the same way again...I was about to throw out Corey's film box he left on the table but I thought..."Hmmm if I open this box up it would make a great collage element!" I hope to go back tonight to do more and again this weekend!

Hi Miki,
Thanks! I am not sure what kind of tree it is...it was misting out and I just had time for a quick photo. It could be a Dogwood??

Laurie,
Than you for your comments! I believe there is a link on the daily painters site to submit your blog for review.
Thanks again!
