Bare Birch Grove

Bare Birch Grove

61 x 76 cms oil on stretched canvas, unframed.

There is an intrinsic appeal of birch trees with their silvery trunks, providing contrast with its leaves. However, in this painting, I set the bare trunks against a moody sky and neutral foreground. I used silver and gold paint to highlight the trunk notches and marks.

This painting was inspired for a finished crossword puzzle.
