When I have found an area rich with subject matter it seems natural for me to work a series of paintings. For about a year I have been interested in sycamore trees. They each seem to have their own personality. I love the way they twist and turn. I find the color of the bark and the contrast of the changing leaf colors amazing. Although we don't really have seasons in Southern California the sycamore trees are on their own program. I am looking for old, untouched trees in settings as untouched by man as possible. The thing I like about this painting is the cast shadow from the trees. It is something I have been working on. For me the shadow pulls the painting together. This painting is from the Laguna Wilderness Area. It is done on Wallis paper with a water color underpainting. As with all posts, if you click the image it will enlarge
