That's creeepy D: Looks like a gnarled hand reaching out of the water! Gorgeous blue, it's a proper good early night colour <3

It is,isn't it
The branch looked cool sticking out of the water and with the water levels still high at the time,that what I thought of.I painted it a little more gnarly than it was to add to the effect of a hand reaching out from the depths.

It would be great for Halloween.This is from the end of the road too!The water was so blue and a limb was sticking out of the high water.It was kind of gnarly so I just gave it more twists and the shape of a gnarly arm coming out of the water.Amazing what gives you a visual in your head
Thanks so much!

Lovely piece of work! It's such a dark display of the rising waters, it almost looks like a twisted and distorted hand rising out of the water. What a destructive power of nature! It's wonderful!

Wickedly beautiful. Eerie and yet calming at the same time. The blue is so deep, I think it adds to the calming effect for me. Almost dreamy like.

This is amazing. I love the reflection and the stillness of the water. The highlights on the branch look great too, the light looks soft and pretty C:

I was walking along the river and this limb sticking out against the blues of the water gave me the urge to paint it
