This painting is 2 feet by 4 feet, oil on masonite board. It was inspired by a wire tree created by my uncle in 1970. A lot of my tree paintings have been inspired by his work. Thanks Uncle Ken! Since this photo was taken I added a green leaf on the pear. I think I like it, but it doesn't feel finished so I'll probably readdress it at some point.
I'm not sure what to say about this except that I love it. It makes me want to lay on my lawn on a summer night and explore the sky.
I finished both of these paintings fall 2008.
