The way you paint the sunlight on the trees is awesome. The variety of colors is great ,too.
Thrilling to see.Unforgettable.

Amazing painting. I used to hike through the woods as a kid and this reminds me of quite a few sunrises coming in through the trees. Well done!

Wowwee this one is really gorgeous!
really inspiring!

just out of curiosity do you start with a simple sketch or you just dive in with shapes?

Nathan, you're giving Sargent a run for his money! I checked LAAFA to see if you were going to be giving any workshops there this summer, but didn't find a mention. Your sketch of the lonely orange on your father's orange tree (am I remembering right?) was exquisite and tempts me to make the trek to LA.

Very nice work on both sites

When working in your studio do you work from memory or pencil drawing done one site.
