Just when I thought I was done...they keep pulling me back! Seriously, I thought I'd had my say with the before/after of the school. Then, suddenly, all the trees were chopped down, leaving an ugly wasteland. Here's the last tree to die in the senseless tree massacre.

And I've started the penultimate in the series. That's not shrubbery—it's the downed leaf canopy before crews returned to clear the carnage.

It looks like you made the tree stand out more strongly or could that just be a different photo?
ReplyDeleteI did a little more work on it since last week. Mostly emphasizing the tree, deadening the background and adding cut branches among the foliage.
DeleteUnfortunately you’ve painted a lovely portrait of the school. The downed branches look like sunlit shrubs. You just can’t paint anger…maybe that’s your Achilles heel!
ReplyDeleteI particularly liked the way you did the foliage. It’s almost as if you painted each leaf.
