Sunlight in the forest...
The Darkling Forest(8x10, oils, SOLD)
This is from some photos I took up around Seattle in the rainforests that are so abundant and wonderful. I loved the sudden lighting that was hitting the base of the tree, yet keeping the top in the shadow. Very "prehistoric" forests one would expect dinosaurs to be roaming around in. I did this in about an hour, with palette knife and alot of paint that was put on very thick. The moss that grew on the lower branches of the trees was especially nice to see. I even took some samples of it to bring back so I could see it and feel it. I think I have a real good technique going here, it's very pleasing to step back from it and see that as well as somewhat photographic, it's abstract too. Finding these reference photos, I realized how many photos I have on file from the years of travel.

Hi Bob,
I just bought this one at the convention. I love it. I wasn't planning on buying any paintings, but I kept going back to look at it. The light just glows from a distance.
Thank you.
Thank you!!! Glad I opened up the door to you buying something you loved. That's the joys of life. And I take joy in creating it.
