Abstract Forest

 I've been working on this piece off and on - mostly off! I decided to go in the direction of abstraction.

And So It Begins...

A friend of mine has a summer home in NC.  She took a photo of the forest outside her home and shared the picture with me.  I loved it.  Luckily for me, she is happy for me to try my hand at painting the scene.

Today,  I stopped procrastinating and began blocking in the background on this 18x24 stretched canvas.
