The Turning Tree - Large Acrylic Painting

"Turning Tree"
30" x 36"
Acrylic



I finally finished a new one. This is a large acrylic, 30" x 36". I have been doing some "fine-tuning" on it for several days - I just was not quite satisfied with the leaf colors. I think I finally achieved what I set out to do, though. My goal was to show a tree that had begun to change colors, and had different stages of leaf maturity (i.e. different colors) ranging from greenish yellow to a dark rust color. I think that I am okay with it now that I have simplified the background a bit. (It was really "busy" before).

I am working on two other paintings at the moment, and just happened to finish this one first. The other paintings include a very large canvas featuring 5 running horses, and a smaller canvas with a close-up of a single horse. I intend the larger painting to be a very loose, almost abstract, colorful canvas with lots of my favorite color: red!!!

Please check in again soon. Toodles!
