Description So sue me, I took the reference picture from a travel guide

I actually don't like this one as much as some of my other pieces, but my friends have convinced me to put it up here. Maybe you all will think it's good too.

Oil on Canvas, 2004

I think this picture is great - it brings back memories of my childhood for some reason and immediately caught my attention. Nice work : )

ahhh yes! thank you, i love you! you knew they were mountains! most people who see this are like "why'd you make the sky green? and the clouds are weird" and it pisses me off to no end lol

When you visit the North of England, you kinda get used to the look of mountains. Everywhere.

Look on the bright side, puny little hills are easier to climb

that's true lol I live on top of a pretty big hill so if it was a mountain instead I'd have a hell of a time getting around o.o

in my veiw, the bushes and flowers really stand out. they introduce so much colour which helps to brighten this already quite bright picture. there's something almost impressionistic about them...
