New-ish? Paintings.. And New..and.. old.

Ok! I've been painting.. Well, to be honest I was painting before the knitting extravaganza and ended up not finishing the painting I had worked on before then. I decided I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do with it.. I may or may not go back to it later.. But I'll go ahead and post it here anyway! Besides, I like feedback.. most of the time....

"Day and Night Pyramid"

This is the one I said I was painting before the knitting extravaganza.. I think it was even before Thanksgiving.. It's not finished..But I'm not sure if I will finish it because I'm really not sure I like it. I couldn't figure out how to paint the pyramid with the correct texture and shading. Needs work! I bought a book on textures. So we'll see how that goes.

"Last Sunset at Sea"

This is another one I didn't finish.. I started this one a couple weeks ago. It's not that noticeable from the photo but if you look really hard you can see the sun setting. I was going to paint a lonely boat.. Maybe I will some time. I'm still not good at objects, and I loved the water so much I didn't wanna mess it up.

"Too Dark Trees"

Welcome to my painting that I'm calling "Too Dark Trees". Because it's too freakin dark. I did this a couple days ago. I believe on  January 26th. I like it.. but it's way too blue and way too dark. i need to work on how to lighten things like this up without getting rid of the "darkness".

"Fallen Flowers on the pond"

Love this. I did it tonight. I'm working from the beginning of a book I bought about technique and different ways to do things. This is amazing. Soo much emotion went into this. I think it really shows. I wish you could all see it in person. This photo doesn't do it justice.
