This painting was done over the weekend in Kaye Franklin's workshop. I must say it was the hardest painting I have ever attempted. I wanted to choose a subject that would stretch my abilities and this was the perfect choice! I stared at the photo trying to figure out where in the world to start and never, ever reached the point where I felt I had a good handle on it. I plan to do more of this type of subject until it is not so intimidating.Thank you, Kaye, for the kick to get out of my comfort zone!

You did a wonderful job on it! I love the feeling of the light peeking through the tree tops.
I wish now that I had watched you paint this instead of spending so much time on my landscape. Beautiful. You should be very pleased.
Hi, Gaye.
Thank you for leaving a kind comment under my photo on PBase :)
I love this painting, it is very beautiful. I love birch trees and they are not easy to paint well. My mother is an artists, she makes oil paintings on canvas and watercolors.
I think this photo I made is much alike in the mood to your picture

Hi Gaye,
I really like your Co. Aspens painting. I just wanted to thank you for visiting my new blog. Hope I get the technical parts all figured out. Anyway, thanks again for the nice comments. I'll check in on your work again.
