This painting is 30x30" one of the largest sizes I have ever painted. Most of it is painted using a #4 bristle flat brush, a small brush for such a large painting!
I worked on this piece in stages waiting for the paint to dry before applying other layers of color. Unusual for me an "alla prima" painter, an impatient and impulsive painter.
I think this painting is quite successful. I like the light in it and the variation in the large areas of color.I like the trees foliage and the impressionistic foreground. I am also happy with the shape on the main tree trunk. I think it gives the piece a certain tension and expressive quality.
This painting is on display at Buckland Southerst Gallery , West Vancouver.

I can see why that would be one of your favorites. I love it. I love the trunk of the tree, the shadows falling across the path - and wondering what might lie at the end of that path.
Very nice. enjoy Florence.
