“Growing Upward”

I thought these trees I see through my windows each day had their leaves tilted downward, but to my surprise, one day I was looking to paint them and I noticed the trees were growing upward. It’s an interesting exercise (often a part of classical art training) to look at something and notice how it looks as opposed to your idea of it. It was many years after living here that I looked more closely and saw these pines as they are.

This is another beauty Jade. It almost looks tropical to me. Love the colors and the way it’s growing upward! The two paintings together really compliment one another. I can see your talent in both.

Thank you, Mom :)! The idea arose from noticing mid-painting so many tree branches point up toward the sky! And so my own direction turned from start from finish…
As if on the ground sitting, looking upward. I am glad you like them displayed together too. 🙂
