MOUNTAINS
SPENT AN HOUR AT MY FRIEND'S HOUSE. THIS IS WHAT I CAME HOME WITH. NEEDS MORE WORK YET.
in response to David H's question here is a photo taken a long time ago of the scene where I was today. Today you could see the snow on the tops of the mountains unlike in the photo but they are the same mountains.

WHICH STILL LOOKS LIKE AN OCTOPUS STUCK IN A TREE.

ANOTHER TRY
SINCE MOVING BACK INTO OUR OLD HOME I HAVE NOT FOUND MY OLD PAINTINGS AND MOST OF MY ACRYLIC PAINTS.
I HAVE A FRIEND WHOM I USED TO PAINT WITH AND SHE WANTED TO GET BACK TO TRYING IT AGIAN.
THE SNOW HAS KEPT US APART. WITH THE LIMITED BUNCH OF COLORS I FOUND (WHICH HAVEN'T DRIED UP) I CHOSE THIS ONE TO DO IN ABSTRACT.
WELL I GUESS I AM MORE OF A DETAIL PERSON THAN I THOUGHT. I HAVE SOME CORRECTIONS TO DO ON THIS AND
REALIZE WHAT I COULD HAVE DONE BETTER BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS AND I AM HAVING FUN.
JUST LIKE MY CAMERA. I DON'T REALLY WANT TO FOLLOW RULES I JUST LIKE TO DO IT. T
THE ONLY REASON THIS ONE PLEASES ME SO FAR IS THAT I CAN SEE DEPTH. SOME OF MY OLDER ONES ARE FLAT.

First attempt at painting from the photo below canvas
The photograph was taken in 1952 of the now overgrown beach area I lived at when I was young. The old black and white photograph was digitally colorized and given to my mother as a gift by my sister. Now this is a park and has paths through the shrubbery and trees that have been allowed to grow.
