Study of Sun and Redwoods: Original 8″ x 8″

Study of Sun and Redwoods

This small study, “Study of Sun and Redwoods,” is a visual exploration of light and shadow, as well as saturated colors alongside more muted colors.

The rough brush strokes are loose and playful. Unexpected pops of bright red and orange peek through the blues and greens.

It is a painting of redwood trees backlit by a brilliant yellow sun, but you can really feel that it is just as much about the process of painting itself.

The deep edges of this small painting add to its bold look!
