Simply, So Simple

"Simplified"
5x5
Oil on Panel

I am really enjoying my exploration of this subject matter. The more of them I do, the more I let go and let experimentation come into play. While I let umber dominate the undertone, it is the subtle hints of cool blue in the trees that I love.

These forest images are purely from my imagination and inspired from memories of a place I spent a lot of time when I was a child... I let the paint blend together with glazing medium watching the colors often mix themselves right there on the wood's surface. While painting these little memories, it sort of reminds me of the way I mingled through the trees often getting lost in my imagination until dinner time...
