Red Birch 2 Painting

Red Birch 2 is a second impression of the infinite shades of white and grays that Birch bark offers to the on looker. The technic here is the use of wet on wet oil paint to create a merging of colours on the edges and to create a softer definition as well as totally harmonising of colours as each colour of each subject contains a small amount of the colour of the adjacent object. Thus the red is a softer tone than inRed Birch 1, and the bark is very slightly tinged with a pinky glow conveying a notion of late afternoon light. There is little thickness to the paint as I work with a rubber brush allowing me to flatten and remove excess thickness of paint.
