It sparkles in the water and the clean lines and colors and it glows in the ambient sky and its reflection in the water. It’s incredibly appealing and deceptively simple. It works very well!

You’ve gotten very good in developing trees and rocks, water and skies. You feel at ease doing landscapes so maybe you can bypass your perfectionist self. Or try doing something new that will force you to try doing it differently, though I have no idea what that might be.

a little pic on one of my cats soon. That’s been super challenging. Don’t want color to run everywhere, but then I get hard lines. Frustrating!
