Story / Additional InfoFrom the artist: "Paintings can surprise you. They can sit in the studio with the other canvases and like a shy kid, they don’t draw attention to themselves. That was the case with this oil, begun a couple of months ago in greens and blues. It wasn’t capturing my attention and I continued to select and work on other canvases that showed more promise. Compositionally, the reticent oil was exactly what I wanted so I pulled it out of the stack and put it up on the easel to consider. Earlier I had worked on a canvas with a lot of yellows and looking at all of those golden remnants on the palette, I got the idea to push this oil in a completely new direction. Ignoring the greens in place, I began paint over the existing forms and outline new tree shapes in red. I did like how they worked with the greens, so moving forward, I added a bit of the yellows already on the palette. What happened surprised me. The yellows combined with the reds to create something far more striking."
