A personal note about this piece:

I visited this location several times before I was settled on the light conditions and colors to make a painting of the scene. Initially, my focus was on how the white tree trunk of the tree held so much presence in the surroundings, but my attention soon shifted to the sea of colors and textures from the background to the foreground. Tackling this as a watercolor was a challenge for me, and it went through several iterations, including ones where I came close to tossing the painting aside. I discovered that using an interplay of energetic pencil gestures along with painting created an overall effect that pulled the piece together. The quality of paint and pencil is best seen in person.  –Æ
