Maple and Magnolia

This paintings was done from a photograph taken near Blue Ridge, Georgia. I paint on location at this property and there is always something to inspire me. I have taken hundreds of photographs too! I love the way the light comes around and through the maple tree and the wonderful blue-green foliage of the magnolia. I tried to keep the painting quite loose and less photographic. I hope you can feel the warmth of the sun and mentally transport yourself there!
