Tribute To Ajit

1/8/2023 - Tribute to Ajit

** NOTE - FIRST PIC IS MY VERSION, SECOND PICK IS AJIT'S AWESOME ORIGINAL.

While looking through a Bob Ross painting group on Facebook, I came across a beautiful painting by Ajit B Gadekar from The United Arab Emirates and I was totally mesmerized. I said to myself "I have to try this painting". I have included Ajit's version for reference. I knew right away I would probably mess up the tree stand somehow, so I immediately decided that I would paint this at least 2 times, with the first time being to work out any problem areas and issues.

I have to say I am not disappointed with my initial effort but I know I can do better, especially on the trees. I am currently starting on version 2 of this painting, this time with much thinner branches on the trees.

10x20 canvas. Painting #71 in my awesomely fun Bob Ross experience. (fun fact: 28 of the 71 are original compositions, rest are mainly Bob Ross paintings). Never created a painting in my life before Feb 1, 2022. I am really enjoying the journey.

My photography actually came out semi decent on this one, so no crappy picture disclaimer :)
