Strong, varied shapes make strong paintings and this one is a great example of Greaves' use of such elements. Simplified and reduced to straight outlines, the trees demonstrate their individual characters.
"Two Trees at Mary Lake" -- 12" x 9" -- Oil -- Collection of Dr. and Mrs. Andrew Bremness
If you have followed my work over the years, you know that I use a number of approaches to describe the form. This one has deliberate planes and lines that create volume.
A published description of this painting stated, "Strong, varied shapes make strong paintings and this one is a great example of Greaves' use of such elements. Simplified and reduced to straight outlines, the trees demonstrate their individual characters."
