Incandescence – 18 x 24 inches – acrylic on wood panel – reserved for Mayberry

Now on to one of the softly glowing trees. Set against a background of burgandy and pumpkin, the yellows and purples in the trunk really do seem lit from within…

I had originally planned this to be a 12 x 16 inch painting, but once I started the sketch I realized that it needed to be bigger. And maybe 18 x 24 isn’t big enough either!
