Tree Series, Overcast

Key Takeaways:

The painting depicts a wet, overcast day. Pale greens dominate the painting. The scene is basked in a soft, cool light.
This is one in a series of tree paintings.
Multicolored strokes allowed me to convey the illusion of nature’s detail without needing to render every rock, leaf or strand of grass.
For the tree, I focused on the dominant branches. I simplified the rest.
A key feature is the line of pale green behind the tree. I was careful to get this color right.
