A Happy Little Tree by skipt07

A Happy Little Tree

At one time I thought I'd try my hand at oil painting. I came across a painter on PBS named, Bob Ross. I was fascinated by how easy he made painting look. Ross was well known for catchphrases he used while painting as he crafted "happy little trees". In honor of Bob Ross who passed away at the young age of 52.
I used to watch Bob Ross all the time! Love the light reflection of the happy little tree in the water.

@travelingcamper - Thank you Lorena!. I thought about processing this to make it look more like a painting. What caught my attention was first, how the sun was illuminating the leaves and secondly the reflection of the tree in the water.

This is so pretty and peaceful Skip, beautiful composition, lighting & reflection! It's funny you mention Bob Ross, I was taking pics last weekend and there were all these puffy white clouds in the sky and my husband said it looked like Bob Ross was keeping busy painting all those happy little clouds! I haven't thought of him in years and now I hear 2 references to him this week!

@pj - Thank you very much Paula!! I believe we need more Bob Rosses in the world today to point out the "Happy Little Things"!!
