Tree paintings #14


.
I don't actually much like this pastel painting of the avenue of trees that lines my path across the park to the shops. I think the 'green' is too predominant for my liking.  

But as I've often mentioned my route to the town and posted photos of the trees in Autumn and in Winter, I thought I might as well include a Summer view.


Somehow, I'm much happier with this one - the view of Sugarloaf from that path on a Summer evening - and the greeting cards I made from it have been very popular locally.

  1. I love all the greens and the shadows that play with the light. The path looks so inviting! :-)

  2. Thank you, art2cee2. It was a boiling hot day and the intense sunlight in between the trees meant that all the detail in the light parts got lost.

    It is a lovely walk to the shops, especially as the squirrels are so tame!
