edenfalling | wherein Liz attempts art

I've been trying to work through the tail end of a Great Lectures series on the Vikings, but I didn't feel like rummaging through my art supplies basket to find my coloring pages, so I opened MS Paint instead and have been making little finger "paintings" loosely in the style of Bob Ross as my latest concentration aid.

They're actually pretty fun. :)

autumn trees on either side of a stream, with mountains in the background

mountains and hills with lakes in both the foreground and background

I feel like I am slowly getting the hang of Bob Ross's techniques, insofar as that's possible when making finger-doodles with a notoriously shoddy digital art program. *wry*
