The sun coming through the leaves adds bright yellow colors into the center of the painting.

Pleasing abstract shapes in different shades of green overlap and give the impression of light and shadow dancing in the tree canopy on a summer day.

I was inspired to paint the big leaf maple leaves along the trails in Mt. Tabor Park in Portland, Oregon.

In the fall, the leaves of the big leaf maples turn a neon yellow color.

The most beautiful thing about the painting is the way the light sparkles and twinkles as it shines through the thick forest of bamboo stalks.

At the top of the painting, the ends of the bamboo disappear into the hot sunshine that fills the sky.

In this painting, the pattern of the green rhododendron leaves is backlit by a brilliant white sky.
Hints of yellow and blue in the background hint at faraway greenery that is out-of-focus.

The overlapping leaves backlit by the sun cast dark green shadows on each other.
