autumn trees

autumn trees

oil on canvas 18x24

.

i was insipred to paint trees after i came back from cameron highlands where we had a mini trek through the mossy forest.it was green (and mud!) everywhere. of course there is no autumn in malaysia so it had no resemblance to this at all but the perspective of height and cluster of trees reminded me of our trip. my reference photo would still be a picture i took from flickr. ha! i always browse photos from there because the shots are very very good and the images are really crisp. i get inspired by flickr's photos and want to paint what i see. i hope it's ok with the owners that i borrowed their pictures as my subject though.

honestly, im not too happy with this painting and just want to let it be.. it sucks! i really feel there is something wrong..i hope my next one would be better. i'm starting on a bigger canvas now. goodluck to me! :)
