~ In landscape painting the thing that is of importance to artistic expression is the "landscape sense," a sense that makes us feel the weight of the mountain, feel the float of a cloud, feel the rhythmic read of a tree, the hardness of a stone. If we do not feel these things about a landscape,
we miss one
of its biggest qualities.

Ahhh, thanks Angela. I'd like to re-do to a larger size and work on the brush work where the light is coming through the trees. I liked the different composition. It was a fun one to paint this afternoon.

Beautiful. This has a lovely painterly quality that in my mind, elevates it above a study. This is a painting, no matter how you title it!
