Media: Acrylic on gessobord
Size: 10x8 in
I was walking around my neighborhood while the sun was setting and I noticed that the red orange glow was illuminating the tree in the background but not the one in the foreground. I thought this would make an interesting contrast in a painting. I cropped the image down so that the branches would create an abstract pattern over the entire surface of the painting.
The lighting at this time of day changes rapidly, if I had been a few minutes later the trees in the background wouldn't have had the same dramatic lighting effect. Ideas for paintings are everywhere, but they can be fleeting. That's why I try to take my camera with me as much as possible.
