autumn study




This is a study for a larger piece that I am painting for my longtime art dealer in Ohio, Michael Orr. Michael "discovered" me, so to speak, and was the first to steadily sell my work and offer me a one-person show. He has been a very significant figure in my life and career and his unwavering support has been essential to my growth. The image is from his property and we have always discussed a possible piece, so now I am finally painting it! I love the deep black tones in the bark of trees in the fall against the bright white of the sky.
