Tree Illustration

I thought I would throw a quick illustrated painting I did of a tree up on here. I love to spend time on larger paintings, but sometimes getting into the studio for long periods of time just isnt in the books for me. Quick little jobs can give the same feeling of accomplishment though. This is a quick illustration of a tree in a desolate field. This one came from more of my graphical/illustration side that took probably 2-3 hours to create. Hope everyone is enjoying the last fleeting days of summer... Football is on the doorstep. :)

I decided on this one to make a couple miniature paintings. I had a mat with 2 openings that I wanted to fill which has been sitting here for a few months. I wont lie, these were from a larger painting that I decided would look better made into 2 smaller pieces. I started with a blue base of paint(the sky blue that you can bee mixed in with the clouds) followed by a couple layers of different textures(paste and paper), then came back in with the top layers of paint.
