Sycamore Shadows at Irvine Park

click painting to enlarge
This pastel painting was done en plein air.  It was done in Irvine Park.  This park has a long history of plein air painting.  The park has been around since 1909.  William Wendt painted the sycamore trees here.  The trees in the park have been there before the park was there.  The sycamore trees are huge.  This plein air painting (sketch) was done in December as the trees were hanging onto the last of their leaves.  The scale of the trees were hard to depict in this hour and a half painting.  The painting was done on pastel mat and measures 18"X25".
