Pine Grove, 8.8.2001 (#6)
Interesting. I didn't like this one so much when I painted it, but now I kind of like it. Dark tree silouhettes on the horizon are usually difficult because they could turn overly cute. I'm happy with the way those sharp silouhettes contrast with the blurry grass at the edge of the asphalt.
Trees are very sparse in this area, and when you see them they look rather odd and wooden (pun unintended). From the distance, they remind me of the miniature plastic trees you use in model making. They are great fun to paint, being the last touch to add at the end, but horrible to correct if mistakes are made.
