Day 11: Hog Plum Trees in the Distance

It rained all afternoon yesterday, spoiling my plans to paint at the beach. Instead, I painted one of the limited views off the screen porch in the late afternoon.

Since I was quite unhappy with some of the greenery in a few of my previous paintings, I decided to use this painting to practice the shape and color of the trees against the sky.


Not much of a painting to hang on the wall but it was good practice.

This is an awesome little piece. The modeling from dark to light in the foliage clumps rounds them up and gives the tree canopy depth. I can't tell on my computer if you have painted in rainfall or your porch screen or if it is just an artifact of photography, but that looks good too.
