Trees
These California tree portraits were created using the traditional materials of oil on linen canvas. Some of the smaller canvases were painted outside, but most begin with numerous tree photos to experiment with compositions. Sketching may also contribute, especially for the paintings where borders appear as the trees are placed in a human context.
