It is fun to see what others do besides portraiture. I think that because I have been focused on portraits for so long, I couldn't let go of the need to "get a likeness" in everything I tried to paint.
I finally was able to wrap my mind around the concept that in landscape painting, the literal doesn't matter a hoot as long as you can grab the feeling of it. I suspect that when this little landscape habit has run its course, my portrait style will change and mature a bit...but I'll still "get a likeness" in that no matter what.
