This painting is from a photo I took through my windshield while driving hwy. 90 west toward Marathon. I cropped a portion of the far right of the photo and used it for a reference, slightly modifying the scene.
This scene is painted from a Hill Country photo I took, I changed the time of day from mid afternoon to near sundown to create the soft light of evening.
Oil on canvas, 22"x28" I have finally completed this piece that had been sitting around undone. This is a tree I believe to be near Concan, Texas. I threw in the bluebonnets as an afterthought.
