"Yellow Poplar - Portrait" oil, acrylic and crayon on canvas. 60" x 35"
This is the first work in a new series that is inspired by the trees along a walking path that I frequent a lot that runs along Prickett's Creek in Marion County, WV. There are nine trees (that are labeled) along the trail and I will be doing a "portrait" of each one. The first is of the last tree on the trail (just to mix it up!), the yellow poplar. This piece is also the largest painting that I have done since graduating college - it feels great!
