The scan on this one didn't come out so good, but hopefully you can get the general idea. Colors are more saturated in the original...
There's other stuff at Flickr.

You have this way of splashing paint around and it actually comes out looking like something! Love that effect on the trees.
Krista: Ha! Love your comment! The "splashing around" is really sort of a technique I learned from a workshop that I took from Joseph Stoddard; you can read more about it here. Thanks for the great comment!
I love this it looks so spontaneous but the thumbnail in the corner tells me it isn't.
Barbara: I actually did this one from a photo, so I was able to do a little thumbnail just to make sure the values looked right. However, I did paint it in a very quick, spontaneous fashion. I feel like it's kinda Stoddard-like... :)
