Trees of Gold


Title: Trees of Gold
Size: 20 x 24
Medium: Oil on gallery wrapped canvas
check out eBay auction tonight for purchase
PAINTING:
This painting has a pthalo blue underpainting and many layers of oils with palette knife were dragged and delicately layered for trunks and leaves. The trunks have several layers of colors: purples and greys followed by golden and white highlights. Even though cadmium red is very expensive, I couldn't resist using it in the canopy of fall leaves because it is the perfect shade for fall.
INSPIRATION:
Today was the first day of school and Fall is just around the corner. I LOVE the turning of the trees. Virginia is especially beautiful in the Fall because of all the trees.
