Just Playing

This was done in about 10 minutes. I was trying to use up some paint I had leftover. The road took on a life all it's own toward the middle of the painting...turning into more of a snake like shape....not very pleasing to the eye. However I do like what is going on with the trees on the right. I added some scratching to give more of the illusion of tree trunks. Not sure if I can salvage it and make it into something more, but we'll see.
