Hi...and welcome to my art work! **** This is a 16 X 20 acrylic on canvas painting! It was my first attempt at acrylics and I thought it was going to be a "snap"!! It wasn't!!! LOL I used modeling paste to build up a 3D look to the trees on a blank canvas then started painting. I thought a sunset would be easy to blend...but it wasn't...at least for my first attempt. It didn't come out quite like I wanted but maybe next time! LOL **** I hope you enjoyed your visit and will stop back again! All comments are greatly appreciated and thank you in advance for them! :) **** Have a wonderful week creating the masterpieces you all do soooo well! **** God Bless!!
