The Redwood Trees

12" by 16" oil on canvas. Living in the mountains gives me an opportunity to look around at the many different types of trees, leaves, and other plants. The day I took the photo, it was a definitely cold and it was late out. Painting the redwood trees allowed me to use many shades of green. Definitely a lot of cool colors rather then using warm colors. It was a little challenging to put many lines and texture into the painting but I managed to accomplish that.
