Dancing With Trees 03
February 19, 2009
Dancing With Trees 03, 85H x 45W x 3D inches acrylics on canvas, wrapped sides painted, trim frame. Signature piece for the Dancing With Trees exhibition, formerly entitled ‘The Majesty of Trees’. There is no black in this painting; the darkest areas are dioxazine purple. Aside from a couple of areas that are still questionable this painting is now finished. Specifically: I’m not sure about adding shadows and contrast on the bark of the main trees because it may take away from the cheerful expression of colors.
Progress in previous posts: January 19th and 30th
The name of the exhibition changed to ‘Dancing With Trees’ to avoid plagiarizing the title of a book, ‘The Majesty of Trees’.

Love it! Re: adding contrasts/shadows to bark of main tree…when in doubt: leave it alone (at least for a while). From where I sit, there are plenty of darks enough in the background, leaving nice contrast between the main trees and it…adding shadows on the bark might “overwork” it and detract from the beautiful COLOURS you’ve used…but what do I know?

You know a lot, c’mon Karen, you are so modest. Your point of view means a lot – it’s good to hear advice from another Artist. It would be too easy to start tidying up the loose ends, so thank you for your 2 cents and you 6th sense.
