Here are two more paintings based on photographs I took during my visit to Big Basin Redwoods State Park last year.
In Study of Golden Giant, I used creative color license to really amp up the intensity of the glowing golden color in this huge towering trunk.

In Study of Bright Woods, the sky is pure white in the background, the light permeating the woods, giving a sunny, cheery atmosphere even deep in the thick forest.
