Micah Neff said...

What template are you using to get use of the whole screen?

Vicki Greene said...

Micah, you ask the tough questions - lol. I believe it is the "Minima Lefty Stretch". Hope that helps.

I remember this one being my favorite of yours when you painted it awhile back. Almost oriental, but with the appearance of Spanish Moss. Love your give-aways!

Hi. I came over from Deb Ward's blog--just in time for the giveaway, too! This is a haunting image; I love the balance between the moon and the tree trunk, and the lacey Spanish-mossy tendrils!

Vicki Greene said...

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate your comments and I really enjoy the giveaways.

Bonny said...

What a great idea a giveaway is! Well, getting lucky enough to receive a giveaway or not - this is a really interesting painting. I love the texture!

Lori Andrews said...

This is lovely, and as I said before, how very generous of you Vicki. :) I'm so glad I found you! :) Lori P.S. Did you use any alcohol on this? Great technique!

Vicki Greene said...

Thanks Bonnie, Linda and Lori. I really appreciate you guys. Lori, I didn't use alcohol on this. The moon was masked and gauze was used for the moss effect.

Jan said...
