Martoo, that's gorgeous. Japanese pines are so very different from American ones.

Thank you all Big hug

You really gave me a fantastic morning today with your comments Very Happy

About the Pines, I think they are cut in a different way, so they don't grow straigt, like the Europan and American ones.

So lovely, Martoo! The rambling branches of the Pine, the nice clean look of the moonlight...I love it!

Could not resist to uploade a preview of that painting of "Bunchh's place", how I imagine it to be... It might be totally different, though, but it is so much fun to paint it Very Happy

Hope Bunchh forgives me Wink

Will try to finish it soon... but oils take their time to dry Rolling Eyes

Oh, thank you friend Big hug

I will also add some airbrush-effects to make the sky a little more shiny.
Can't wait to continue now Very Happy

Sorry.

It's great! Those colors, that background, the house itself... and Bunchh!

Edit: I just noticed - were you sketching something else in the bottom left corner?

Thank you so much Big hug

I'm glad you like it ,too...
As for the left corner, I plan a statue of a giant Koi (carp) spitting water. I'm just not sure if I can get it right.

Thank you, Treefox Big hug

I'm so happy that the kids are older now and I can use oils again, without fear that they might eat or chew on them.

I'm also happy that I have some time now to paint a big painting again. It is a nice distraction from "Shadowpath"... Very Happy

Yes, because the kids were small I could not paint with oils for almost 6 years. Confused

Also in our apartement in Germany we did not have enough room to put my colors somewhere.
Here I have my cozy corner with my art-stuff and I really enjoy it Very Happy

Hopefully I can finish that painting soon... right now I'm busy with my own naughty characters again Wink

and on that note of painting safety, just make sure you don't use cadmiums, cobalts, or titanium, and if you're using a thinner, don't use turpentine, use gamasol.

oh, and always paint with nitrile gloves!! never latex!!!

sorry....I just took a bunch of art safety classes.
