Paint Party Friday - The River

| "The River" |
I missed PPF last week so this week I made sure I took some time out to paint! I didn't want anything structured where I had to sketch first so I watched a few videos on Youtube and just started slapping paint on. lol I think it turned out pretty good. I've been on days for the past two weeks and for some reason it seems like I don't have as much time to play. But I go to afternoons for the next two weeks so I should have more time to practice painting. We're still searching for a new apartment also. We're going to look at a two bedroom condo on Sunday. I'm super excited about this one so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's not a total dump and that it works out. :) I'm off to work soon but will be back later to look at all the pretty paintings!

nice painting...I like the reflections.
Nice painting! I like how the more opaque tress and river bank compliment the transparent sky and river. The color palette works very well together. Lovely! ;)
Lovely painting, lovely colours in the water. Good luck with your house hunting. :)
You sound very busy. I love the background colors of this work. Happy PPF!
Yes¡ when one is busy relaxes much free to paint landscapes, where you do not have to think too much but just let go of the brushes. Greetings.
A very tranquil painting. I especially love the beautiful colors in the sky and the reflections in the water. Wonderful work! :)
This is beautiful- I love the colors you chose for the sky and the way you painted in the reflections- gorgeous!
Happy PPF!

I tried a landscape this week too, but mine did not turn out as nice as yours and I trashed it, LOL. I'm not good at landscapes. Good luck with the condo. I know you could really use some good luck right now.
