In the wringer: willow tree

(Willow tree, by carolita johnson. Oil on canvas.)
This is oil on canvas (48” x 48”), in an attempt to use oil paint much the way I use my ink and brush when doing cartoons. My first try, and it’s not quite done yet, but very nearly. I just needed it to try a little more before adding a tiny bit more foliage that would obscure a little bit more of the tree trunk in places. (It was just smudging, while wet.)

NO! Don’t touch it! It’s perfect!

no worries, I’ve only adjusted a bit of the white space, barely noticeable.
thanks juliette!
