Out of the Woods

I painted "Out of the Woods" from a photo I took in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, of a truly beautiful scene. The three pines seemed to come right out of the woods from the other trees, and were backlit by the sun, a situation that I just love to paint. It did have its issues along the way - the shadows were difficult to do - but I just kept working on it!
