This is also a painting that was inspired by a trip to California. We were visiting the ocean, and walking back to have some lunch, when I saw the light hitting a bare tree. The tree almost looked like a sculpture to me, and I had to capture this scene in a painting. For this series of paintings, I used pastel on a textured prepared surface. I was thrilled with the way that the texture worked with the subject. This painting won a Best of Show award in 2013, and I am particularly proud of it.
