Description
I just realized I did a darkwing duck picture with very similar colors...When I was a kid I used to sneer at people who drew in color books and colored Mickey Mouse bright orange and pink. It's weird that I am now allergic to making stuff look like it actually does.
I was inspired by [link] to paint a bridge and some purple rocks, and [link] (by Mel Olm) to attempt leaves, and both these paintings are amazing, so go check them out!

Thanks! I used to go camping a lot and was always obsessed with nature. Every place seems to have a distinct personality.

It's not psycho. It's twilight. Everything looks blue at twilight.
Also, it looks awesome.

Twilight is about five minutes after the sun sets, when there's still a bit of light to see by but it's definitely not daytime.

wow.
seriously, i get the nicest feeling in this.
it's kind of like this whole piece is a swatch of fabric with a pin sewed right in that distant light source.
i guess i mean it has excellent movement. i feel like i could grab the edges of the frame here and pull it open wide enough to just step right into.

I'm glad you noticed that the movement starts in the trees :> I rarely do anything with composition but I was proud of this one..

Love the colors (duh) and also how you handled the leaves, I've been wanting to try that light-spots-on-dark thing... now I want to try it even more XD Oh yeah and the thin outlines on the plants in the foreground are awesome

I usually hate painting bushes but the tedium helped me focus today.. glad you like the outline, that was the last thing I put in and I wasn't sure if it looked weird or not

And nice colours. You have a habit of making any colour scheme work for a piece.

What happens when you do make things look like they actually do?
