Really lost what I was doing at the end. It is very hard to me because these cypress trees are so unique having strong character. Trie so hard to make it looks like real. I appreciate to get any comments on how to paint these trees. Thank you Stu for encouraging me to post it! He did great job on this plein aire.

This is a great plein aire painting Laura. I think you captured those trees very well
Thank you Ann! I will trim it for you :)
I like the color you have used to warm it up, the warm dry grass and the pink cheerful sky. The bridge peeking thru is great but I would like to take some clippers and trim back those trees so I could enjoy the view.
Hi Betsy, thank you for your comment, encouragement and the suggestion of book. I just checked it out. It looks a great book to have. Thank you again Betsy!
Thank you all my dear friends for your nice comments, support, and encouragement! I was holding my breath to read comments. I was prepared for very bad comments on this one.
Michael, thank you for your suggestions! I will read Carlson's book chapter regarding trees. I only read a few pages since I bought it. I always wanted to read it, but always find excuse ...
Silvana, it is 9x12 on board. I always paint on 9x12 when I paint out.
Very nice!!
Great Laura!Happy you can go and paint plein air! How big do you paint?
Very good plein air painting Laura. I like the strong diagonal line contrasting with the vertical tower of the G.G. Cypress trees, or any tree, require much study ...the fact that you are aware that you must paint the character of the tree, is a step in the right direction. Go out and just sketch a tree ...or certain characteristics of a certain tree ...how the trunk and limbs grow in the wind and how they compete for the suns attention. Study how it grows, and why. You have John Carlson's book ...read the chapter on trees ...very interesting!
