I am getting more comfortable with it. I need to let go a
little more but I figured that will come with time. I am working on another one
now and I am going to try and not finish it so fast. Just let it stay with me
for a while and play with the different colors out there. I keep looking at the
picture and different colors keep coming out of it so I keep laying light
layers down on top of each other to try and get that color I see. Kind of fun.
I used to do a lot of pen and inks with a little splash of color to direct the
eye but this all color is harder. That wood pecker has been waking us up every
morning he is very pretty but also a pain in the butt.

Hi,

Thanks for looking and replying....The artwork is on unryued rice paper over watercolor paper.  No need for matting. Basically simple process but time consumming.

selliot, black mats could work, definitely for online sales.

Check with your galleries, they MAY have a preference.

Good Luck !! 

Hey Selliot,  I just wanted to thank you,  I realize i have been paying much more attention to trees since I admired your art.....

I get excited because it never snows in Memphis.......I grew up in the snow belt along Lake Erie...I've always loved the winter....but winters in Memphis  are cold rain...So you just get chilled without the beauty of a new snow fall.  I LOVE Maine it 's my second favorite place in AMERICA after California... We honeymooned there!

Kara asked the same question about the Fall photo, it was a studio shot. I used a piece of flat black cloth to isolate the leaf and used a bare bulb with aluminum foil as a reflector to illuminate the leaf.

Your comment about the title is what I wanted peopel to think, is it Fall as in autum or is it a free fall.  I like to think of it a both.

Glad you liked it.
