Jarbidge Nevada "Tree Study" No.1

8x10 Oil
To purchase please contact me, Kathryn@anaturalframe.com
This is a study of Trees!
Some of the artists that I admire have an amazing way of capturing the beauty of trees. I know.....such a simple thing your thinking to yourself......but I can assure you, to paint them without them looking overworked......and looking like a real tree in the forest is not so simple.
This tree stand is one of many up in the Jarbidge, Nevada area where the evergreen trees there look like perfect cones....I am not sure exactly what kind of trees they are, so if you happen to know the correct breed I would love to hear from you!
Thanks for Visiting!

Contact me for more information
I started this painting on the first lake we hiked to. It was a
very serene place and you could watch the fish jumping in the
lake, however we didn't catch anything here. My oldest
granddaughter kept asking me about the sticks in
the water... you know...."How did they get there?"
....."What was there first the tree or the water?"
Seeing life through a childs eyes....almost makes me
wish I were a kid again!
