Here are my final submissions. That's five out of many 2"x2" thumbnails that I made last days. All the reference images come from my private gallery. I really enjoyed the challenge, good luck everyone!!

Less is more!! Simple brush strokes, but so well positioned!
Hi all.
First I thank Proko & Tiffanie for giving us this great challenge.
I made 5 thumbnails based on my own photography of my county landscapes throughout all seasons. 2x2", acrylics.
I had a great time painting those thumbs!
Wow! Never realized there are so many colours to find in a landscape! They make me instantly happy!
Phew! I NEVER do landscapes, so this was a welcome trip outside my comfort zone!
Had so much fun painting these, it's a brilliant exercise for using colour and shapes, will definitely do it again. Please tell me what you think!
Painted digitally using Photoshop.
Thumbnails -- 2 x 2 inch painted with gouache on Arches 140 pound coldpress, using 2 brushes, a 3/4 in flat and size 10 round. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I like painting with larger brushes. i live in Minnesota so I decided to embrace it and paint snow and ice scenes. Great challenge to start out the new year!
Here is my submission for this brand new year's first #prokochallenge (Are these hashtags required here as well?) for @Tiffanie Mang 's landscape thumbnails! I'll post the references in the reaction on this entry. I am actually proud of them, I had to redo a lot but got somewhere in the end ;-)
How did you guys do?
Excellent work Janna! Love how you turn these every day pictures into a colourfull image and add a touch of mystery. As a spectator, you almost feel as if you are a part of the picture, wondering what is happening next.
Hi! Wow this was so much fun! Thank you for organizing this challenge!
It was years ago that I painted. So I got myself the basic colours of gouache and some large brushes and got started. I have chosen a series of landscapes from the Italian Alps. I learned while painting. Mixing the colours to obtain warm and cold tones and getting to handle the brushes to bring in shapes and details. I tried to paint them in a similar atmosphere. Hope you enjoy.
I had such a good time! Definitely going to pick up the painting again!
Something about your paintings give me fairytale vibes. Nicely done! I like the textures in them.

Hi! Wow this was so much fun! It was years ago that I painted. So I got myself the basic colours of gouache and a some large brushes and got started on some landscapes from the Ialian Alps. Certainly a challenge, especially with the large brushes and the thumbnail size. But I had such a good time! I learned while painting, mixing the colours and getting to handle the brushes to bring in smaller details. I tried to paint these landscapes in the same athmosphere.
Hi Inez, I like that you taped off the 2x2 on watercolor paper. I can give you my humble thoughts as Im far from being an expert.
The first image is my favorite, I like that the house is partially covered , hidden by the greenery. I think its a successful compostiton and painting. Lots of interesting images that you compiled from the two different photo references that help to move the eye around.
