Emerald Day Painting

In this painting, Emerald Day, my goal was to make a representational image of the forest, but painted with a lot of abstraction. The visual composition of one of my photos made me really want to paint it, because of the negative shapes of the bright sky between the treetops, and the darker shapes of the trees all reaching upwards together into the sky. But unlike a more realistic depiction of this view, I had a mental image of these almost peacock-like colors, a vibrant emerald green and a deep teal blue. The white light from the sky comes through the foliage in some parts of the painting as small chicken-scratch brush strokes. You can enjoy this painting as a depiction of the forest, but you can also appreciate the intentional use of vibrant color and the interesting playful effects created with paint and varied mark-making.
