Painting in general is a difficult medium for me, it typically takes me longer to complete those works than others. I am very detail-oriented and this piece I probably took it to the extreme, drawing every last leaf shape of the trees’ outline in the original photo. To finish it on time, I brought it to the Theta house in Stillwater to work on while I watched the football game on TV and my family went to the stadium. It was quite tedious, but I did enjoy making this acrylic forest scene.
