Pretending to Paint Take 2

This is stemming from a post a year or so ago when I began teaching myself to paint.

Did a couple more paintings for my darling friend Mandee who was recently married!
Congratulations Amanda Carolyn!

The first is an inside joke from an amazing Italian restaurant in Georgia. Nothing special, just some wall decor.






The second is from a gorgeous hiking trail in Idaho! Still determined to get out there and visit them in Idaho.




All the colors!

This is the first time I have been satisfied with mountains!


Aaannnnd adding light...

Trees and Terrain!


Making the wood look like wood and the beginnings of shadowing




And there they are together! Inside joke and landscape. Hoozah!

Really had a blast doing these- mostly because they meant my friend was marrying the love of her life and I was getting to do things for her. :) These are happy times.

Hope you enjoyed!
