Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

In celebration of the day and of the beautiful warm spring weather in South Carolina, I’ve been thinking about GREEN.  Today I’m featuring one of my early pieces inspired by the verdant landscape at Sandhill Recreation and Education Center.  In early spring the trees have a hazy look, chartreuse and pink, leaves not yet distinct.  In this painting I used textured paper to give the illusion of tangled vegetation above the smooth surface of the lake.   The palette is monochromatic, but includes a wide range of greens to represent different kinds of trees and water plants.
