simple is better

I wanted to make a simple painting of a forest from the National Geographic magazine because I never paint trees. Started painting it, without much enthusiasm since it was just a speedpaint, and lo and behold! people ended up loving it. Here is the picture

 Then I started painting some ballerinas. I was very excited at first but then, after like 3 hours, got bored. And it didn't get much appreciation...

 

And the next picture is a belated portrait for a friend.
