Kathleen, that sounds like a beautiful place!

Thank you Wayne, Georgia, & JP!

Chrissi, thanks! I used to only work in acrylics, and I wanted to do more with oils but it took me forever to work up the confidence to try. Then I gradually started using oils more and more. At first I hated them, but I stuck with it and now I really like them. This past year I’ve used mostly oils. It’s funny, people who started out as oil painters are intimidated by acrylics & vice versa. Both have their challenges and both take time to get used to and even more time to get good at.

Again, absolutely beautiful. Your work is truly inspiring. I wish I could figure out how to get such amazing results out of oil paint. So for now, I make my attempt in acrylic. Namaste.

Beautiful work Cedar.. Love the POV looking straight up.. it’s the last thing I would see before walking right into another tree! I do it all the time, too busy looking around and not on where I’m going.. Consequently I bump my head a lot, fall down, trip over… It’s true, even though you exaggerate the height, it feels real, it’s what we feel in tall forests!

I love your new painting! The video was great also. Perfect music for a speedy session. This painting reminded me of an actual place my sister use to live. It was a small mountain community surrounded by redwoods. About a half mile walk from her home was a circle of redwood trees that the locals called “The Church”. It was a perfect place for gatherings. Standing in the center of it was exactly like your painting!!!
