A Painting A Day - #18

I wasn't all that excited to paint this. From the value study, which is papa bear mid tone with really no strong lights or darks, I had to come up with something to make all mid tones less boring. Dominance is probably shape and size. I wanted to add some direction and texture so I textured the trees. I After painting everything I decided to add some writing in the back ground just to create more interest and direction, and kept all the edges soft.
