A Landscape

Lone Tree

9 x 12, oil on panel

I was taking a one hour walk that turned into two because I get turned around. Along the way I saw this tree. It's shape stood out against the starkly simple landscape. I actually enjoyed painting this landscape - and I have to say that the 'landscape' does not usually pull me to paint it. In fact, I have started another one that I am enjoying as well. They just don't take the kind of extreme concentration that the figures and animals do. If I get the file resizing down right I will be entering  it into an online art competition on composition.
