Description
SO I was bored today and decided to work on painting background which as you go through my gallery you can see that I never paint. I kind of like the way this turned out, its a bit too fluffy and sweet for my liking but I like the water and the grass. The tree in the foreground was done last and is quite shoddily done so sorry about that! Anyways, I spent about 4-5 hours on this. Hope ya like it!For goodness sakes, comment! I love hearing your feedback, both positive and negative!

This is really good, hun!
I don't see it as fluffy and sweet at all, I think it has pretty dark undertones and looks a bit sinister, in a good way!

Really? WOW, youre so sweet! Im very flattered that you want to print it out, Im afraid its quite a small file though. Well its done on photoshop and I had a bit of an idea that I wanted a stram and some trees but I just kind of started colouring wherever, haha
Thanks again, I really appreciate the support

Or some blurry unidentifiable shape. Skies are good though, because you can make them anywhere from black-gray-blue and no one can say its bad, you just say its night-overcast-midday. Haha, yay for cutting corners!

cutting corners makes life easier *nod nod*
