I can't see the forest through the trees Print

This was one of those paintings that took a turn for the "better" halfway through the process. A morning walk over to a park near my house led me right to a grouping of large oaks with the early sun streaming through a couple of openings. It was blinding to look into it, but it also created a great backlit scene with the sun poking through the trees. Back to the studio with photos in hand. I had this idea of how I could use oils to blend and push back the sky and trees and then lay some think sunlight colors over that with a palette knife. It didn't work out. I took a rag dipped in turpentine and began wiping away certain sections. Suddenly, interesting shapes appeared and I went "off the wall" with how I depicted these trees and light falling on a path that was in the foreground. Greens, reds, yellows and a few blues (for the sky) fell into place to turn a traditional subject into an abstract.
