Artistic License








This black and white, acrylic, 30” x 40” painting of a local tree, is a study of composition and finding the strength within the subject and the space that it occupies.  As I painted with my brush, I felt like a conductor directing an orchestra.  As I painted, the real life summer greens fell away like the leaves in a fall windstorm, and all that was left in my artistic rendering was a sparsely covered tree - bare and almost naked - in all of its truth.
