Trees

Filed under: Painting — miasmagladness @ 9:27 pm

I finished this one recently and am pleased with it. Trees fascinate me as a subject and all the time I was painting  I was remembering the time my dad paid me a dime to memorize Joyce Kilmer’s poem, “Trees.” (“I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree….”)–pretty sappy but it has stayed in my head. I’m pleased with the clouds made by my new palette knife. The whole scene reminds me of glorious bright summer mornings, full of possibilities.
