I finished this last week, based on a series of pastel drawings that I did during late May and early June. I went back to this location a couple of weeks ago with a smaller canvas and the grass and weeds were so high that would have needed a machete to get anywhere near this tree. The neighborhood where I grew up in central Massachusetts abutted some land that had at one time been an apple orchard and I used to love finding old trees like this in overgrown fields and climbing up into them with my friends.
Quel bonheur de pouvoir côtoyer ces géants là qui se dressent si hauts dans le ciel comme s'ils voulaient parler à la lune...
ReplyDeleteBelle peinture avec un si généreuse lumière, bravo.
