purple paradise

Looking at *ANTIFAN-REAL [link] work has really inspired me to try to step it up with Photoshop, and to take much more time on each piece I do. I had to practice a lot of self control with this picture, because usually I rush through paintings, more concerned with getting it done fast than how good it looks. So this time I really forced myself to s-l-o-w-d-o-w-n and do it right. In that aspect, this picture is a complete sucess, because despite how hard it was for me to spend hours on a hill, I've learned that it is worth the time spent. I love how detailed things turned out and how they look. Am I completely satsified? Of course not. Am I ever? I doubt it. But it has been a great learning experience. Painted in Photoshop 7.0 with an old Jam Studio Tablet.
