Intersection


Intersection, 6 x 6

Trees can look so indecisive for a brief period in early winter, when some branches have foliage and others do not. This one was no exception. I'd like to explore painting bare branches on a larger canvas this winter -- it's a challenge to keep them looking elegant. Laurel Daniel painted a tree in this "transition" recently. It's beautiful. Check it out.

This is a lovely painting with a comfortable looseness to it!

Those pesky bare branches are sooooo tricky aren't they? I am with you, let's wrestle 'em to the ground this winter! Love this and thank you for your kind words!!!

Hi Julie,

I'm sorry I haven't commented for a while and you've been doing beautiful work. I'm in Italy and can only get on the computer at an internet place. So...this is beautiful, and I know exactly what you mean. I'll write more when I get a chance.
