Painting No. 140 - Trees IV

6" x 8" - Oil on Canvas Board

No. 140 is a train wreck but it was exactly what I needed. I was still trying to work out how the tops of the trees were going to translate and had to take it to an extreme to really see what I was seeing. Here I have made a decision that the background trees would be dark and that the foreground trees would be lit. It was a nice idea but clearly does not work.
