Artist Cedar Lee with her painting, Trees In The Morning. 48" x 36", Oil on Wood, © 2014 Cedar Lee
Here’s another huge oil painting of the redwood forest–Trees in the Morning, 48″ x 36″.
I’ve been skirting the line between realism and impressionism/fantasy–making choices about whether to paint the trees as they look in real life, or to use wild colors and elements of abstraction to create mood and evoke emotion. In my recent painting Forest Light, I chose to swing more towards realism. In Red Trunks, I went more towards the colorful fantasy.
This painting, I think, is somewhere in the middle.
One of my favorite parts of this painting is this section of hazy turquoise and gray-gold foliage in the center.
I also love the twisting bark of the tree trunks.

I love the trees in the morning painting because one of my favorite things is being among trees in the 4 sesons in Vurginia. I love looking up… just what you have captured. Unfortunately, the piece is too large for my home even if it were available. Do you make prints?
Hi Larrie Ellen, I've made prints of this painting available here: https://www.artbycedar.com/shop/trees-in-the-morning-print/
Unfortunately, the largest size available for this one is 12" x 16". I hope that one of these size options works for you. Please let me know if you have any other requests for print options. Thanks!
