6”x8” oil on panel
This intimate study focuses on the base of a tree trunk in the artist's yard in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, capturing the interplay of light and shadow on bark and forest floor. Rich burnt sienna tones dominate the composition, contrasting with the cool grays and mossy greens of the weathered trunk. The energetic, swirling brushwork conveys the texture of fallen pine needles and the dappled light filtering through the canopy above.
This is an original plein air oil painting, meaning it was painted outdoors, on location, in Orange County, NC. Painted on a panel of “gesso board”, this piece is ready to be framed or can be displayed on a picture ledge without a frame.
Painted in 2025
This piece is also available as a Fine Art Print.
