Ghost Wood III
18x36 inches, acrylic on canvas
This is the third in a series of abstract birch tree paintings. Each time I embark on a new version, I choose a different colour palette. This time I chose earthy shades of browns and green with a bit of gray and yellow thrown into the mix. What I didn't expect, were the trees to also be in earthtones. In the previous two versions, as well as a commission, they had all been white. They are representing birch trees after all.
But as I worked on the forest, I noticed some strokes looking more like main trees. So I played with this idea, and whole forest of slightly off-white (sometimes really off-white) trees came to be. Painted wet on wet these trees mingled generously with the underpainting to create quite a unique expanse of forest.
I love it when this happens!
