Grove of Trees

It has been a busy month and I haven't been able to spend as much time in the studio as I would like. So, having finished this piece, Grove of Trees, makes me especially pleased! It feels good to have a piece that I've been working on in my head finally in my hands and to top it off, I just love it! I recently updated the colors in my own living room in an attempt to lighten and brighten the room and my new color palette inspired this piece. I love the soft blues with just a hint of burnt orange. I also love the softness of the trees that I achieved by tearing the paper instead of cutting it. Even the background paint is more layered than I usually do. The result is amazing depth and texture. I am going to hang this one in my own home until it sells! And even then, I'm sure I'll replicate it!
