More Trees

"Most Everything Does #2"

oil on two paper-mounted panels, each 7" x 4.25"

Part two of trees and phone lines.

I like how the color gradation can be interpreted as both dawn and dusk, beginning or end.

Detail of panel preparation. Paper mounted panel, primed with gesso, and cut into a grid relief within both panels, that is then primed with PVA. The variation in surface height allows for interesting textures as well as the painting sitting "within" the rest of the surface. I don't think I would do this for every painting, but surface wise, it made sense for these compositions.
