Cloudy Acacia Tree Scene Painting

Sometimes it is necessary to use your artistic license in order to create the vision of what you see in your head. A photograph can sometimes only tell half the story and you need to add in using that artistic license that which you felt at the time. To me the incredible fine textures of the rugged bush was the main focus here together with the light shining through the trees and bushes creating an interesting play of light. The scene was one from my trip to the arid country of the Norther Cape. Done in oil on canvass board.
