Description Let me start by saying I have never painted something before. All of my creative skill is mostly limited to digital art.

You can see my previous best attempt at non-digital art in my scraps: [link]

Nonetheless, I have a vaulted ceiling in my living room with a big blank wall. I wanted something to hang there, but any kind of art you buy is just too expensive. So I decided to make my own and this is the result.

I built the frame and stretched an old painting cloth for the canvas. Painted away for 10-15 hours and whalla - my attempt at a tree.

BTW sorry for the angle, but it is already up on my wall and it is dang hard to get it up there. I had to assemble scaffolding.

Size is 9X6 feet

Not bad Socket Never liked painting - my stuff is pencil. BTW, I'm gonna buy some image to decorate the wall in my studio/work room. I need a big b/w photo of a city. When I find one I need, I might draw it with pencil and upload here. Been quite a time since I submitted anything fairly good.

*the last thing I drew besides Rune contest pic was that Daria girl naked (if you remember - my last pics submitted was she), so it's not appropriate to upload it here - she won't let me *

the tree and the shadow effect on the water looks cool couldn't do it better with Acrylic Colours, do you used oil paint?
