Oak Tree by the pond by J hunter 09

I was inspired to paint this oak tree and background on the way to work. I put in a pond where the road was and the foreground rocks are similar to the foreground detail on Lake Louise in Canada. It took nearly 4 months to complete. Original is painted on a 12”x16” Canvas.

Comment by Nicki L. Heileson on August 29, 2009 at 3:21: Looks like you figured out how to post your painting. I really like this painting. Good job adding the pond where none existed and putting in the reflections, etc. I'm not so good at making up things I don't see. I like your grasses and rocks and the flowers in the near foreground (actually weeds like I have seen a million times).. Your tree is great, as well. It stinks when you have to work for a living and can't paint as much as you'd like, doesn't it? I work a 40 hour week and painting gets put on the back burner quite a bit..
