Trees and Inspiration
I continue my exploration of trees with paint. There are endless possibilities of shapes and colors and moods. These two paintings were done rather spontaneously on a Saturday morning, and I hate to admit, but for a painting exhibition with a deadline due the next day. I don't usually wait til the last minute, but I had been having a particularly bad summer cold (thankfully gone) that affected my eyes. Maybe it's a reminder to not labor so much on minutia or thinking when approaching the canvas. Capturing a feeling or moment may be easier when we let go and let the brush and hand go where it will.The inspiration for these paintings come from a certain walk that my spouse and I take occasionally. It's a lovely hidden spot, a walking trail with lovely undulating trees along a small running creek. So as I began to paint, I recalled the crisp air, the colors, the shapes, the enjoyment of the moment of walking with my best friend.
