Tree (Acrylic on Canvas Board)

I'm glad this tree and the previous one have wound up being side-by-side. The two are perfect examples of what can be wrong, and right, with Art. And artists.

I rather like this. It feels REAL. I don't mean that the subject is a real scene or place, although it may well be. And I don't mean it is a magnificent painting. What I mean is this feels like someone who is trying hard and doing something real, BEING real, not wasting paint and cluttering up a canvas with bullshit. It's not great. But it is good, and it is real. Sometimes that is enough. 

Artist: you give me hope, my friend.
