Reminds me of a walk in mountains.
The mood was so similar to the pictures.
Heavy, gray sky, some sun rays hitting the brownish ground and falling snowflakes sparkling through the air.
I really have to learn how to paint seriously.

@Vyse: I need to learn to paint seriously too. I just dick around mostly and have fun! o/

It's also fun looking at your playbacks.
For me, that is serious painting... because, only if you know how to paint, it starts to make more and more fun.
May I ask you a question about the idea behind the background color you sometimes start with?
Here (or in your "Shrine" painting") its purple.
I saw few other painters, who start with such color, that doesn't seem to fit the enviroment at all.

Sorry. I guess saying I "dick around" is generally my being self deprecating. I do take art seriously... sometimes; but I'm usually at my happiest, and producing better work, when I am care free and don't have an agenda. The purple canvas is just me experimenting. My usual palette is slightly mute so I've been throwing down a more warmer, saturated canvas to work over as a way of gauging my tones. It's becoming more tricky on my aging DS to pick colours I want. The difference in temperature between what I see on screen and what the actual is on my PC has become rather vast over the past 6 months, so I rely more on learned previous colour picking than anything else. I can't really go into it here, but I've found the blues, greens and yellows are effected more on my screen so I tend to pick purples and reds as a reliable base. Beyond that, I enjoy working cool, lower saturation colours over warm. I do so often in Photoshop.

At first I thought this was a "Serio" picture using "Munins" color palette, due to the spiky strutures that I related to Serio. Very, very nice!

Splotch -haha lol. I wish to draw with such excellence like Munin but it is a long way before me to produce such stunning pieces. But thx for compliment :)

hehe... maybe Serio's spikes have pierced my subconscious. :D
