Oak Tree Shadows in Caspers Park

click to enlarge
This painting is done on pastel card with soft pastels and measures 22"x28".  One of the big cattle ranches in Orange County turned into a park: Caspers Park is full of old oaks and sycamore trees.  The amazing light coming through the branches and the contrasting shadows underneath were what drew me to this subject.  I think a better communication of the vibrant light coming through the branches was needed.  This I think will be a really great subject for an oil painting further down the line.  I think I will also try this again as a pastel  at some point.
