untitled (Tree Line)

Description:

Oil landscape painting on canvas illustrating a line of large trees casting shadows on a grassy ridge. The heavily applied paint conveys a clear, blue sky, thick grass, and heavy branches. The grass is conveyed using a mix of predominantly warm hues, including yellows and reds, while the trunks are conveyed using cool hues, including blues and purples. The composition of the trees creates an arch in the center of the image. The horizon line separates the image into roughly two halves.
