Birch Medley (2008) - Updated

Oil on canvas (16" x 20")

I was looking out the window at the birch trees in the front yard
and realized that I could see neither top not trunk of the trees,
just this interlaced network of branches. I was inspired to produce
this semi-abstract piece which, despite the apparent randomness of
the branches, does actually have a proper up-down orientation and
a strong sense of light coming from one side.

Since I posted this originally, Birch Medley has won an Honourable
Mention in the Nepean Fine Arts League Members' Exhibition!
