Keep trying, keep believing, keep looking for new perspectives, keep an open mind - anything is possible.  Anything.  You will find a way.  This little floating tree is an inspirational reminder that you will realize your dreams if you just keep trying.

How Keep At It was created.....   After the black acrylic gesso primer dried, I used dray brushes and wet brushes and palette knives to apply many layers of color over the course of several days.  Then I used a dental tool to scratch in some accent lines and I used a tiny detail brush to create the scene and add the words.

Keep At It was painted on a small wooden plaque. The sides of the board have been painted and this piece looks great on a small display stand.  Or, if you prefer, I would be happy to add a sawtooth hanger to the back so that you could display this original painting without framing directly on the wall.  Just be sure to request the hanger at the time of payment if you want one.  Also, if you feel this small piece will be handled often, please request a coat of protective varnish at the time of payment.  I would be happy to add a coat at no charge.
