Study, Summer Oak Mini The frenetic movement of people

The frenetic movement of people and cars in New York City captivates me

among the more satisfying works I create

We shall see

It shines at its best during the autumn season

and the dramatic cloud formation set a perfect mood

Study, Summer Oak Mini The frenetic movement of peopleWhen I first began my painting career, my mentor told me that every tree is an individual personality. It took me many years of observing and honing my skills to appreciate what he meant. This moment from near my home in Knoxville, Tennessee is a celebration of the permanency of a majestic oak and the fleeting beauty of a summer evening sky. This mini is the initial study for a larger painting, Summer Oak.
