This is the final painting (I think). 

BC Forest, acrylic 80x100cm

This is one of the 5 paintings I've been working on for the Sketch Club Annual Show. I'm glad I photographed it for this blog. Looking at it in a new light I can see where I will need to work on some areas before the show.
I've been working on elements to give my paintings depth.
I want the viewer to feel they can walk into the painting.
