Pine Cross is Complete

Pine Cross

Pine Cross began in a studio in Potomac Maryland over four years ago.  It has been through many iterations while moving in and out of two different studio's.  I have no idea why and how it finally came together, but when I completed the painting last Friday, I felt free of it.  There were over 20 coats on the background which evolved from a base of burnt sienna to purples, teals, pinks and finally a yellow gold.  The final coat has many of these layers showing through it.  It has a luminous ethereal feel to it with specs of pink, yellow and green.
