Oil Painting of a Tree Size:8"x12" driving stride

driving stride

The work salutes the untamed spirit of the African plains

catching the warm glow that filters through the blurred amber and gold foliage behind

A pale sun hovers low in a misty sky

a gentle shoreline unfolds where pale ocean foam slides onto golden sand

Oil Painting of a Tree Size:8"x12" driving strideA solitary oak stands at the heart of a sunlit meadow, its broad crown of green and gold foliage rising against a sweeping sky filled with towering banks of cumulus cloud. The grasses below glow in warm ochre and amber, swaying across a gentle rise that fades into soft blue hills along the horizon. Light falls evenly across the scene, catching the textured bark of the trunk and the layered depth of the leaves with a quiet, almost classical realism.
