Whereas with yesterday’s 3 x 5 landscape — Pine Trees — I had a lot of mixed emotions, with today’s painting, I’m all in. I love this painting, and I doubt that my feelings will ever change.

Yes, I say that proudly. I love the painting. It’s a good landscape painting, and the fact that I painted it on a 3 x 5 card makes it all the more beautiful to me.
