Large Tree at Dusk

Information about the painting:
“Large Tree at Dusk” is an oil painting on linen panel. It was painted en plein air, alla prima (outside, from life, in one session) in Pheasant Creek West Virginia in August 2019. The frame is a closed corner, black and gold leaf frame. A photo of the painting with Gayle is included for size reference.

Note from Gayle about this painting: As most people who follow my paintings know, I’m a bit obsessed with this tree and have painted it a bunch of times. I love how it stands alone in the middle of a field in a high pasture, open to being struck by lightning, almost calling out to the lightning with a tall pointy top to strike it. It has such an interesting shape. The tree actually has 3 separate trunks which you can see in this painting if you look closely.
