A nice surreal look landscape feel. Good choice of colors. I like this very much.

Well thank you all for such an enthusiastic response to this one! I never know how an abstract will be received because I never really know what I'm doing. When in doubt, wipe it out! 
You all are such a kind group of people! 
I won't be painting much in the near future because both of my wrists are messed up. It hurt to do the few brushstrokes needed for this little piece. I have braces to wear to stabilize my joints but I can't use a paintbrush very well with them on. At the moment I'm waiting for a referral to a hand surgeon, then I'll wait for an appointment, then I'll wait for x-rays and test results, then I'll wait for a surgical date. If I'm lucky I will be able to have one hand or the other fixed so that I can open paint tubes and apply paint to paper again. I actually miss doing housework and washing dishes but mostly I miss being able to paint!

Thanks Jo.
Rich, I think the red outlines were put there to try to keep me from veering too far into a realistic landscape. It's so easy to do when I see rocks and trees in just about everything. The same thing with the little turquoise spot - it's just a pop of interesting color with no particular meaning. I left the little pink spots floating up on the right because they add interest and I was trying not to get too literal with the "trees." Thanks so much for your comment! It's really helpful to me to know how something like this is perceived.
