Description [link] Been listening to mumford too much~

1. I dont do landscapes.
2. I dont do landscapes.
3. Its all oil on canvas. (took a month roughly)

I pictured a plainer more open scene with much less color originally.... I didnt know quite how to go by it and I had
"Bob Ross's New Joy of Painting" conveniently open to my favorite forest painting so I ran with it and added my sad old boy in the clearing there tethared to a heart of stone.

Yes its messy but well-- I'm wingin' this medium all the way!

This is your best work yet Shady. There is so much melancholy in it...

I've been insanely busy that's what I've been!

Oh who cares, this is a very nice picture. You're ever so gradually getting better.

Busyness is good yes?

I'm about there myself. I may just get a solid career and free training to boot for the price of a mural job soon if all goes well.

Also getting my health in check. Quite important right now.

Aww thankyou!

Love the man! his book of step by step tutorials are real nice to learn from. This had been my first ever forest scene.
Not exact from his but I'm learning.
