Alistair, I think you have found your niche`, these are some really very inspired images of late. I really like this one too...and all hand done to boot, well that just makes it all the much better (poor grammar here) but I really like it...This reminds me of Bob Ross (he is a painter, teaches in fact) and this looks like his style although HE would have done it in either acrylic or oils...nicely done Alistair!

nice I like that you can see the tops of the trees reflected.. a detail I would have missed.

nice desktop backgound :D

This one started out to be a rocky canyon, but as I was putting the tones down I thought it would make nice woodland stream. I dont copy pictures or paintings intentionaly but everyone is influenced but other artists and or paintings so I suppose that comes out when I do something.

he has a pad.. and he does not copy..

hey alistair. please tell me, how do u make these sketches? by hand? do u have a pad? do u copy these from someplace?
