The finished picture

 Well this is it the finished picture, maybe a few changes needed but I'm not sure what yet, any ideas.

I took three pictures because the flash shows up but I'm not good at taking photos.

    1. You are so right it's a fiddle thing you see something that's not right and you just touch it up and its easy to go to far.
      I will hang it in my craft room for a while.

  12. Any ideas? You're asking the wrong person here. I do furniture and slap a coat of solid colour on most pieces. That wouldn't work for this.
    I think it's beautiful.

  13. Well, I think it's lovely!

  28. Merle,
    This is such a delightful picture. I love all the colors, and the trees are so pretty. I'm a "tree" person and often take pictures of them. I didn't know you painted - what an incredible talent you have!

    Have a good week ahead.

    Love,
    ~Sheri
