SPOOKY BROOK

Hello Friends ... This painting is a 20 X 16 oil on canvas and was my very first painting when I knew ZILCH!!! LOL That's the second picture. I then took it to PS and used some effects! The top one is the result. Hope you like it and thanks so much for stopping by!! Your wonderful support means so much to me!! :)
