Las Trampas Park and warm weather memories

I started this about six months ago after going on a hike at a wonderful Regional Park located about 5 minutes from where I live. I changed it last month from a realistic to a more impressionistic and I think happier image. Just the antidote for the last dreary, rainy and cold days we've been having.

Very nice, Sheila. I like the light colors on top of the trees.

Reminds me of walking in the moonlight for some reason. Has a really nice ethereal/dreamlike quality at that.

The idea that you have influence by the forensic caught my eye. I was an anthropology, Spanish and a fine art minor. I have found a way to mesh all three with my own artwork. This piece you completed looks like one of the greats. Stunning and Van Gogh-esque. Bravo!

Sheila, I see someone else mentioned Van Gogh and I agree. The swirls in the sky especially reminds me of a Van Gogh sky...just wonderful!

I love it, Sheila, and the whorls in the sky are just the BEST - I think making it more impressionistic lets the viewer make it their own, too....

Very nice. I love the use of thick paint in your work!

I love the bold colors, Sheila!

Very dreamlike and dare I say magical even!
