I haven’t gotten to paint much this week but I did do another 6×6 oil on panel for this month’s Virtual Paintout. I’m not crazy about it but I keep telling myself I need to practice landscapes so this was good practice. It’s not so bad, I guess, but I just couldn’t match the picture in my head with this one. I found this little spot on Pupoju Road in Vilnuis, Lithuania. Can’t wait to see where we go for April. Happy Paint Party Friday!
ETA: After some distance from working on this, I’ve decided I like it after all. It’s funny how they seem to change after you stop looking at them for a while! Now I can appreciate it for the painting it is, whether it matches that vision in my head or not.

Love the painting. I would love to go with you and see it for real. Blessings, Janet PPF
I love this painting. It has a mood that really draws me in and captures my interest. It’s so pretty, and yet very lonely at the same time, and I like that! 🙂
This is a lovely painting. I like the composition and think the shadows make interesting shapes on the road
I love this! You did a great job on it. I think as artists, we’re our own worst critics but I completely understand when you can’t get the image in your head down on canvas.
Wonderful painting. Looks like a very peaceful place.
Lovely painting, nice work with light and shadow and beautiful serene feeling!
Beautiful painting with so much light and shade.
Happy PPF and Happy Easter, Annette x

I quite like your painting and am wanting to see what is up ahead on that road. Happy PPF xox
It’s a lovely painting! Sometimes we need to get out of our head and enjoy the end result, even if it doesn’t look like we think it should. Beautiful, beautiful work! Happy Easter!
It’s hard when you have a picture in your head. I try not to have that picture before I start. Then I’m never disappointed 🙂 I would love to walk down that path!!
this is a beautiful painting! I’d love to be walking along that road:) Happy PPF!
I like your landscaped, Melisa. It looks like a peaceful place to take a bike ride.

Sometimes the painting wants to go where it wants to go. It’s a lovely country road, I think it turned out really well!!
I admire anyone who can paint in oils! I think this painting is a lovely peaceful place…
I love that tree in the foreground. What was going on with the shadows in your mind’s eye?

It’s a wonderful painting. We are our own worst critics! HPPF
The colours in the shadows are so compelling, I really like the depth you’ve given to your work. It’s so hard when it’s not what we have in our own mind, but I hope you’ll see its beauty anyway.
I enjoy the muted color and sense of space.
Very peaceful and beautiful painting.
Gorgeous!! What a wonderful painting of a country road.
