Bending Tree Pond Painting

I took this on Thanksgiving, actually. It is the pond at Dolce Norwalk (http://www.dolce-norwalk-hotel.com/?gclid=CKekg6ibjK0CFQ5T7AodQUtwpA . It wasn't a knock out photo but I liked the curves and the potential for color, so I experimented using Corel's Painter Essentials 4. This is the detailed watercolor setting, with some tweaks.

This is the underbelly of the little tree frog that was on my dining room window tonight just as I was about to close the shades. So sweet! His little throat was working a mile a minute. I just love their toes.

Tree Frog!

This little cutie was on my dining room window tonight just as I was about to close the shades for the night. I think he has a bug in his mouth. He stayed on there for a good 20 mins or so and then must have gotten spooked by the movement (me) around him. He was just gorgeous with his white throat working a mile a minute!  :)

Sorry I will not have time to view or comment on your images until the weekend! Will do as soon as I can!

The bark of the redbud tree and pink of the blossoms are evident.
