Arizona Sycamore 5x7 Oil



This painting was from a photo reference of an arizona sycamore tree in Harshaw, AZ. It depicts the base of the tree behind a fire-pit where my family camped each year in the Patagonia Mtns when I was a kid. This was taken in August in the middle of monsoon season and I had never seen it that green before. Usually when camping it was fall, winter, spring before foliage returned. I plan to make it back down there soon to paint more sycamores plein air. until then i will continue to work off of my photo references that I have taken. Once my kids resume school again I will be able to get outside again and paint, until then Studio work for me. I hope you all enjoy this one and you can look forward to more sycamore tree's in a series from me soon! Thanks.
