Any form is acceptable.
Landscapes include mountain, coastal, riverine, hills, caves, valleys, deserts. Use your brushstroke to create a scene for me. Again, I hope for uniqueness. Let each of your masterpieces pop. Will we see your landscape light up or is it dark. Let me feel the period that you are in. Make it your own masterpiece. What people or animals or objects will you place. Does your landscape feel forced, as in you are painting for a particular buyer or government, etc.. or are you free to wander and choose. Let us fill Poetry Soup up again with magic from your ink bottle.
I am keeping this contest standard so as many as possible “landscapes” can be highlighted.
