#60 – The Family Tree

An iconic view of Snowdonia in Wales. This piece offers so much to the eye. The foreground is fluttering with soft green foliage and a rugged stone fence. The far-off cliffs are met only by the water and sky. The towering silhouette of the tree lends a familiar softness to the wild nature of this composition. This piece was inspired by a photo I captured while I was on a trip throughout the UK. This area moved me so much that I asked the tour to make a stop at this location so I could take a picture and eventually paint it. This painting is bursting with earth and water tones of cerulean blue, phthalo green, ochre yellow and titan cream.
