Standing Tall

This painting took a very long time. I was unhappy with the lower portion at one point because it detracted from the composition, so I changed it from shear cliff to a more gradual grassy slope with some rocks. There is no reference but memory and imagination. The sky was built from many many layers...

Most likely a situation now one would want to be in.

For: frogs contest

A frog never give us a smile they are always in serious mood but here i mixedup realistic and cartoon both style and give little smile on its face and try to paint real texture on cartoon drawing as much as i can.
