Twisted Tree

9x12

Well, my husband and son decided to shoot clay pigeons at the ranch again so I tagged along- decided this time to go to the other side of the ranch to avoid being in the line of fire. I have been reading alot of Emile Gruppe lately and what he says about painting trees. He says that you need to capture their character and even exaggerate their chatacter if need be. This tree needed no exaggeration. I do wish that it would start greening up over there- March is a tough time in the San Luis Valley.
