11. Pin Cushion Hills.

This painting has taken me over a week to finish, which is long enough, but I could have worked on it for a year. Could have continued adding details - branches on every tree, ripples on the water... It is difficult to stop while doing analog painting as well, but your eyes and brush sizes eventually stops you. In a digital painting you can zoom in, zoom in more, and then zoom in again. Without self control, you'll be working on one tree for a week, and this thing has hundreds.

So, at some point you'll have to stop and say: It is done. Which I just did.
