There's
something about tall trees that is majestic and awe-inspiring. These
trees are depicted in the earliest days of spring, a very typical scene
for the Illinois prairie. There are no leaves on them yet, although the
scrubby undergrowth is turning green early. I started this painting on
a bright sunny day - the shadows are very dark because of the
intensity of the sun. I was captivated by the tall sculptural quality I
saw in these beautiful trees, as well as the contrast between sun and
shadow, so they became the focus of the painting. Because of their
tall majestic size, it required a larger canvas to contain them! So
this is 20" tall and 16" wide. It is ready to frame and hang
