Today we're back with the second installment of the "trees" series. This is another recent painting, completed within the last 3 weeks. This is also a rather large painting at nearly 4 feet tall and 1 foot wide.
This painting did not start out with a goal of being a part of the trees series however the background colors really reminded me of a dark Disney-esque forest. I can imagine some tripped out Alice in Wonderland character bumbling into this magical forest. Or maybe not....what do you see?
The most time consuming portion of this painting was creating the "trees." remember that this painting is 4 feet tall so that means I painted about 10 feet worth of trees. 10 feet plus white paint on a dark colored canvas equals an exorbitant amount of time. Overall, totally worth it.
One of my favorite things about this painting is how it is effected by light. When the painting is in a dark area it looks much more menacing with the colors looking like they are in the shadows. But as you can tell from the pictures, when it's outside the colors tend to light up and shine through rather nicely. The last touch will be to paint the sides of this one black.
