Sort of Empty

One morning this week as I set up to paint, I looked at several of the paintings that I formerly thought were finished. They looked sort of empty.

Nice, but something is missing.
Why did I think the tree was unnecessary? I begin painting all conifer trees with a vertical line to locate them and to build the foliage in an upright pattern.
Better!
‘Twas empty, now better.

These next two look almost the same. I used the same photo, but one is 8×8″ and the other is 6×6″. I don’t have enough skill to do two identical paintings, only two that are very similar. Are you shocked?

    • Hi Jennifer, I owe you a letter. Thank you for checking in! I wonder what Morgan would say about with versus without the tree.
