landscape number 1

 Did some plein air painting with my brother over the weekend.  I painted a couple of watercolors of the old pine tree by my uncle's cabin.  I can't say I am happy with where I'm at with my landscape painting.  Inspired by a conversation I had with my brother I've decided to paint 200 landscapes.   He read somewhere that it takes about 200 paintings to find your own unique style.  Sounds reasonable to me, it took about that many figure paintings before I was happy with my "style".
