Our Challenge this month was named by Mary Maxam, who asked us to paint a tree from our area.Although I have done this numerous times, I decided to paint an elongated vertical format painting for something a little different.
Near my house is this group of tall conifers. The Grand Fir on the right side of the painting is fascinating to me and I have painted it more than once. It's especially lovely with the late afternoon rosy light shining on it.

Lovely! I particularly love your sky...
The light in this piece is gorgeous! I love the break in the clouds, too. You really caught the majestic feeling of these trees. The tall format was brilliant.
