Study of Her Majesty. 10" x 10", Oil on Wood, © Cedar Lee 2014
As I was painting this, I kept coming back to the thought that this beautiful redwood tree standing alone in the bright sky with its branches splayed out elegantly all around it, haloed by light, reminded me of a figure of royalty: A tall, proud queen decked out in brilliant robes and jewels. I just had to name this tree “Her Majesty.”
There is something about these giants that is noble and proud, isn’t there? They seem to be rejoicing in their own beauty!
You can see here that the painting continues onto the 1.5″ deep edges of the wood panel.
