Hawaiian scene

Painting by Vicky Christensen, Golden OPEN acrylics on canvas 

Here's a painting of a shaded spot in the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden. I used Golden OPEN paints over an underpainting of fluid acrylics and matte medium. They OPEN paints weren't dry when I took the photo and it caused some reflections, so the photo isn't the best.

I keep trying to loosen up on my landscape paintings but I ultimately end up putting in too much detail. I'll keep trying.
