I'm sharing my Art Challenge paintings/studies on trees.
Title...United To Weather Life's Storms.
I live in an aspen grove and this is an acrylic painting of the aspens in the yard. There use to be another tree, but we had to have it cut down because it got hit by lightning and it was seriously leaning toward the house. I look at these trees everyday surviving the seasons and they seem to tell me a valuable life lesson...you can survive the bumps in life of you have the support of others.
Here, the sun shines everyday, even if it is snowing 10"...so that is why I painted a yellow underpainting. A lot of the texture of that underpainting and the applied paint was made by using plastic wrap...paint, crinkle plastic wrap, press down, weigh it down, let dry and pull off the plastic wrap....oh la la....texture.
This is a study of trees...different species using different brushes.
