Redwood Studies, Day and Night

By Artbycedar

On my recent trip to Sequoia National Park, I saw the General Sherman Tree, the largest tree in the world! It is so massive that it’s impossible to fathom its true size from the perspective on the ground.

These two paintings are inspired by that tree:

And here are two nighttime forest scenes featuring giant sequoias in the silver light of the full moon:
