Got so sick of painting on this tree. Hurt myself twice. I'm sitting here with a giant knot in my neck. So, it is history! I'm already much more relaxed with the collage above. This tree is really all about the essence of Buddhism anyway.

I started this tree painting in oil. Well. I don't want to paint in oil now. I was going to paint on the porch. After spending the week in pain from painting on the porch one day. I think painting in my studio is a better idea. So. I painted gesso over my oil attempt and going to finish it in acrylic. I know this is forbidden but since I am self taught. I guess I don't know any better.
