Arboretum


Have you ever visited an arboretum? Me neither. This painting was done at the Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Superior, Arizona . I wasn't happy with it at first, trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. I finally figured out that the sky peaking through the trees was the wrong value ( much to light). Art is nothing but a continual learning process. This painting measures 14" x 11" on quality archival canvas board.
I am working on another painting done at the same location ( a mountain scene) that was accepted for an upcoming show...Stay toned!
