Come on out of the Woods

The birch tree is a symbol of the north woods to me. I see many homes in Ohio with a trees like this for an accent. But they are fun to paint.

This style of painting is post - Impressionist - homemade dip and dash. Meaning I wanted to do a textured painting with the touches and dabs of color. Then I wanted washes with  shadows and light.

Up close this painting is hard to see but as you move back you  see it come together. Many if not all Impressionist do that with their paintings. Putting the colors that are complement and contrast side by side to make the painting.

Oh by the way Yesterday was a blast! Keep your  brushes  wet! Yee Haw!
