Here is an original painting I recently finished on 24 in. x 36 in. canvas. Acrylic paint was used and the inspiration came from this magnificent White Fir I photographed in Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe.
We all have an idea of what a tree looks like but this tree had so much character. I decided to zoom in to capture the twisted limbs and the nubby, flaky bark.
The sunlight plays on the branches which were shaped from the ice and snow during the many winters.
The grayish bark against the blue sky just jumps right out at you. Short yellow green pine needles hang in a pattern only mother nature could design.
It all seems chaotic but there's a great deal of grace and
beauty in it's composition.
You could spent a lot of time admiring all the beautiful landscape that Emerald Bay has to offer.
I look forward to the next trip!
