Evanne's Trees - pastel

When using a photo reference for a painting, interesting and beautiful results can be achieved by focussing on one tiny section of the photo and creating an enlarged composition from that.  For this piece, Evane chose a calendar photo of trees in fall colour.  She then placed a tiny rectangular frame, approximately 3 X 2 " in size over a selected area and began to replicate what she saw on a large piece of paper.  The resulting work is a vibrant exploration of the semi-abstract shapes within.  Beautiful work, Evane!
