The photo for these trees was taken on the grounds of Homer Watson House and Gallery on one April afternoon just as the sun was starting to take a dive towards the horizon. It felt like a great opportunity to shoot more tree photographs directly at the sun, so I took quite a few pictures, many of which have been transformed, as least in part, into tree paintings for a series of tree paintings. In this piece, the trees are blocking the sun, kindly shielding me from the very bright light. I thought it was very gallant and kind of them to do than for me. But still, the sun's presence manages to sneak around the edges of the tree, just to make sure I don't forget about its brilliance.
