This is another painting coming out of my recent trip around the National Parks in Southwest USA and is based on a tree I saw in Yosemite in a sequoia grove. Looking at it now I am just wondering if I need to put in a silhouetted figure in the light to give it the right sense of scale... needn't decide yet but probably...
This is the tonal underpainting stage which has had a wash of a desaturated mix of Phthalocyanine Blue and Permanent Orange over the basic underpainting using my usual mix of Burnt Sienna and Dioxazine Purple thinned with Liquin and applied with a rag and brush.
Oil on fine cotton 16" x 12".
