(7x12)In like the cool branches in the upper right, but always struggle with dappled shadows! I think I may crop it:

In-progress photos: I have to remember to photograph paintings in-progress more often; looking at these makes at least part of me wish I had stopped after the first go-round.
God, Laura! This is beautiful!!!
ReplyDeletehooray you did it. I love it.After looking at your painting,I think my challenge was perspective hmmm. Once again I love your painting.
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning, Laura - the branches tower overhead, and I love your colours and patterns in those dappled shadows.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Love the deep, rich colors!
ReplyDeleteLuscious colors, Laura. I like it a lot.
ReplyDeletewonderful color! It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI like the rich, bold blue in your sky and how you carried it down into your background. And I think your purple dappled shadows are very well done.
ReplyDeleteLooks good to me. I like the purple shadows. A really nice approach to this subject.
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous Laura! I love the cool colours, just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteNo,no,no cropping! It's lovely as is.
ReplyDeleteI love and envy your talent.
All the colors are wonderful - a nice interpretation! I do like the first photo though - simple trees and blue background. It would be so great if we had an "undo" button, wouldn't it? But that is what makes it art, I think - taking the chance that can't be undone.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bright, beautiful piece! I love seeing the in-progress photos.
ReplyDeleteI love your colors. I check in often to see what you have created. Beautiful.

I love your colours and your dappled shade! Well done!
ReplyDeleteOh my, these colors are so so beautiful! This interpretation of the tree is very joyous indeed.
ReplyDeleteScrumptious!! These are some of the most luscious colors I've seen, in a painting or elsewhere. Yum!!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors Laura! I don't think you should crop it. The color shift in the right corner balances the piece.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the view.
Have to echo all that's been said: the colours are plain gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful... a feast of colors!
ReplyDeleteIt was most interesting to see the masking in the work in progress photos. I like to see all the 'tricks' and techniques used to arrive at a result.
ReplyDeleteAnd a gorgeous result. Fabulous color!
GORGEOUS colors! I love the loose and wet look to this -- very alive.
ReplyDeleteI love the bright colors and gesture in this.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful, the painting, the drawing, the movement - it is just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLove these. Wonderful capturing of the shadows and play of light.
