Walking along Shawnee Run (valley and creek) in winter after a light snow I thought the baby cedars were cute and snapped a number of pictures. When I came to paint them, I couldn't come up with an interesting composition. So I zeroed in on the upper right corner of the photo and borrowed colors from another artist I admired to relieve the grey-on-grey of the scene. This hilltop area was apparently farmed well into the twentieth century and, happily, cedars and
oaks are taking over the land.

ReplyDeleteHi Dan.
ReplyDeleteThis is a brilliant painting. I love the way that you have zeroed in to this subject. I do that a lot. I have taken a look at most of your paintings and found them to be excellent. Thanks for visiting my Blog Dan, and all the best.
