Forest Canopy

This is my second painting, done during the fall of 2004. My husband went into the everglades to do some field work and I went with him. My sister asked me to paint this scene but I was still learning about color mixing and the lighting in the hotel room was less than ideal. I was so dissatisfied with its progress that I reworked parts of it for almost two weeks. The end result is that under lighting, the tree appears to change position. It's very eerie.
