Description Another weird painting... This actually was a texture-study, I used palette knife for the "tree", and very thinned paint on the backround... But it turned out quite cute even though I´m not sure what´s the "story" with it. I just have been feeling a bit "surreal" for a while. The photo again does look a bit bad compared to the actual painting.

Painted with oilpaint.

I like that the tree is a hand. Perhaps an Ent stood still too long in nesting season.

Photos are always like that....you're not alone. I love the way you did this painting! The tree like hand done with impasto and the flowing background...wonderful! The owl is so cute that I just wanna squeeze him!

Thank you for all your comments! ^^ I have been a bit lazy to reply for a while, I really should get on it again... <_<

It´s quite rare for me atleast to get a good photo of a painting, especially if its done with oils. Light is always either too bright or too dark, so the picture turns out fuzzy or with reflections... Glad you like the painting though. I thought that it may be a bit TOO weird, but had too much fun doing the hand-tree and the owl. Too bad that I ran out of time with these paintings, there´s still much things that could have been done better...

Can't you go back and work on them? If something really bugs me I have to fix it...and it's not too wierd, I've seen worse (a LOT worse). "Owls nest" is more cute than creepy though, the baby owl tones it down a bunch.

Well, I could fix them, but not before I get them back from the art- show (or what you call them <_< ) they are in. I´m happy that it´s not too creepy though, even if I like doing my pictures a little freakish. I thought that the cute bird in the picture and bright colours would make it more... well, wiever-friendly.

It's in a gallery or art exhibit? COOL! Why be normal?

"Normal" sells better, I guess... But I tend to get bored with it. <_< I just took some of my paintings (including this) to a small gallery that is property of artist shop next to it, nothing more than that.

Yeah, normal sells, but why be normal? If everyone painted pretty butterflies the art world would suck... Thank goodness for the creative people. As my mother tells me, do what you want to and eventually there will come a person that likes you and buys your work. Once you get that one person it's all good from there. You'll have no problem, we have to start somewhere!
