Trees against Red (2 versions)

Goache paint. 9x12"

Goache and acrylic paints. 9x12"

Here are two paintings of the same thing. I added different effects for things like bark and leaves. Several people have asked me why the bottoms of the trees are white and why I put red in the background. The answer is very simple. The trees were in front of a red building and Romanians paint the bottoms of almost all their trees white. I think someone said it was to keep bugs away or something. Please enjoy!
