I just finished this painting!
Towering Trunk II
Oil on Canvas, 20 x 16″
I needed to replace my previous painting, Towering Trunk, which recently sold. The original was painted from a photo I took on the campus of Goucher College, where I was first inspired to start painting trees. I love that painting and wanted to make something similar–I thought it would be a fun challenge to paint a loose mirror image of the original “Towering Trunk.” Here you can see the 2 paintings side by side–the new one is on the right.
You can see the dimensions of the 2 paintings are different, the new one being wider, and the colors are different–the new painting has a bluer sky. While the large tree in the middle and the direction of the light source in the 2 paintings are approximate mirror images of each other, I’ve changed the background quite a bit.
The new painting is going to RiverView Gallery in Havre de Grace, MD next week–after the paint has dried!

Hi. I will try to add you on Twitter. My name there is MiraJ1.
I saw you did & just added you as well!
I love this Cedar. I've always loved your looking up trees and it's brilliant that you did a mirror image yet it shows your progress as a painter too in the "reflection". I'm so happy for your success and I know there will be more to come!

Thanks Nancy!
