The original painting is for sale. The sun was setting when I took the reference photo for this painting and that created long dramatic shadows. I captured the depth of this scene by making the trees in the distance a blurry mass of muted grays while the trees in the foreground have more definition and color. I also used gouache to create the highlights on the bark.

Dramatic and intriguing!
Lovely start to the challenge. I like the misty look to the distant trees.
Thanks Nancy!
Thanks Joan!
It is really beautiful. I love how you have captured the colours, it is a great calming contrast to the wild trees :)
