Canvas #27: 30 Canvases in 30 Days

I can't believe how almost over this challenge is.  I'm a little sad about it!

So here's something I've never, ever done in my entire life: I've painted multiple works with NO PEOPLE IN THEM.  Bizarre.

I call this series, "Damn Strange Trees."
 

These trees were inspired by "upside down trees."  The coloring is different in real life, but the shape is basically the same.  Damn strange, amiright?

Canvas #14: 30 Canvases in 30 Days

After painting many portraits, I decided to force myself a little out of my comfort zone with some semi-realistic trees.

SEMI.

With an emphasis on somewhat.

At this point, I knew the figure I intended to add would be one of two little girls who get into trouble in, near, or after being in the woods:  Snow White and Red Riding Hood.

I settled on Red.

After the challenge is over, I might go back in and add either a TINY wolf with giant teeth or a GIANT wolf with ridiculous teeth.
