Birch Nestled among the White Pines *SOLD

Birch nestled among the White Pines is part of the birch tree series that I started last Fall. A customer, at Peculiar Painter, commented on my first piece saying that she would like one similar to it only smaller. She added that her favorite combination is a birch tree surrounded by pine branches and hinted that she might be interested in a painting that evoked the feel of this combination. While I made the birch trees the focus in this piece I did like the idea of the soft white pine color coming through in the background.

Using a combination of Perylene green and yellow ochre  I added short wispy strokes to eluded to the presence of white pine in the background. Think of a late summer morning, filled with light and warm breezes.

Birch nestled among the White Pines is 18" x 36" acrylic on stretched (1.5" thick)  canvas with painted edges.
