So Artful Challenge - Trees

This time I won't be late! LOL

I painted these with acrylics on canvas - the originals are 8x10. When I began to swap ATC's, I made prints of these and framed them in a tri-frame. Trees in the winter months have a beauty like no other time of the year especially when they are covered with snow or ice.

I was fortunate to have one of the original pieces published in a New Mexico magazine. To this day that seems simply surreal to me.

I've already seen one image created by Tacey and it's absolutely beautiful!

  1. OMG..this is gorgeous! I love your paintings, and acrylics are not easy to use. I painted years ago but with oils so I could have time to "play" with them. This is so perfect for the challenge..simply beautiful, Joan!
