Collection of the Artist
I like taking a class after I've been away from painting for a while, and in 2017 I took an adult Ed class at Utah Valley University. It was a very productive time for me, as I painted four other paintings in addition to this one. My focus was on getting the:
1. color right for the leaves,
2. leaf texture right,
3. gnarly wood,
4. atmospheric perspective in the background, and
5. ground color and grasses.
I like to challenge myself when I don't paint much just to see how I can perform.
