Lonely Tree

Lonely Tree - After a gap of over 5 - 6 weeks

After few of the landscapes and other stuff, decided to paint a lonely tree in a silhoutte of sunset.. I thought it would be easier to do as many videos were suggesting it as for beginners !! However.. it wasnt as easy because my background was not gelling enough.. First started with the crimpson red which was a big mistake, lighter colors were then getting reddish and light background which I planned was tough to come.. so gave up and rested the canvas for few weeks.. 

After several weeks, picked it up once again and started off on a Friday night.. This time I let the brush do whatever it likes to do :) and it worked.. clouds were not upto the mark initially but when painting finsihed.. they were looking good, brighter one would have made it look bad ! 

Tree - I love to paint such trees and while painting this one.. I did not correct anything, I let it go as it is and was almost in a meditative mind.. no thoughts about the office issues or anything !! Perfectly enjoying the tree.. At the end I thought let me paint that tyre in which I played when I was a kid !! 


After painting this one, my kids wanted it in our dining room so that we see that every now and then.. While I gaze at this one, It gives a sweet memories of childhood, child within us and still I feel like 'climb in that tyre and swing' ... May be someday !! 

Hope you like this one.... I aint give this to none ;) Somethings should stay with me...
