Media: Acrylic on paper
Size: 10x8 in
I was at Letchworth State Park on a hot and humid day and I thought I would take get some relief from the sun by hiking through a shady trail. I noticed a clearing up ahead and I took a few reference photos. Photographs are helpful to work from but they contain too much irrelevent information. It’s best to simplify some of the shapes and textures. The darks in this painting may look appear to be solid black but I mixed it from various colors so that it would have some variety.
