Revisiting a Subject

12/10/2012

I decided to reconsider a familiar tree this week. Looking pretty lonely out on a clear cut hill out behind my town it made a wonderful subject under a recent snowfall. I last painted this guy around five years ago. Snow is fantastic to paint. There are always great patterns and abstract designs to play with. I think this little tree turned out great. It is 24X20" still wet and is available for $800 with a nice frame.

I am experimenting with a new substrate for me, 23 carat gold leaf. I'm having lots of fun but it is a huge learning curve. As soon as I have something completed I will post it. I think that the finished product needs to be seen in person though. The gold captures and reflects the ambient light back out through the paint and changes as the viewer moves about in front of it. Very beautiful. That's the theory anyway. Until next time.

Great work Bill - such a nice piece! The snow on the tree really captures the sunlight and has that dazzling effect so often found on winter walks in the forest.
