It was a fantastic day to paint at the Fletcher Creek Conservation Area in Puslinch. It was overcast but bright, about 8 C and relatively low humidity. There was lots to motivate me and I found myself in a cedar grove with some very old cedars. These trees were massive and close enough together that it was easy to lose my bearings.
This is 11" by 15". It was a struggle because the trees were so dense and the twigs so thick that they looked like lace. I wanted to capture that wildness without being over fussy and too busy.
I am still not sure how I feel about it. I received some very positive feedback from other artists but I still feel that it needs something.
I would like more contrast but the grove was so thick that is was very dull with little in the way of shadows. I think that I will call this finished and head back in there next week. Off to the RGB tomorrow.
