Sometimes you just want to go bigger with an idea. With this oil and the 10' expanse, the artist was able to create an expressive forest view where all is simplified and surrounded in a soft, colored atmosphere.
Care was taken to keep a limited color selection and also to subtly move the color across the canvas from left to right. There is a lot of atmosphere here and it becomes more obvious when the foliage is reduced on the right side.
As the oil developed, the artist became more aware of the lateral possibilities and seeing back into the forest. It became a painting of nuances, a sweeping view of trees plainly seen and many others receding into the background. It was a joy to watch this come to life on the canvas.
