Mount Pleasant people! I've got a show up at Dos Gringos along with fellow DC painter Steve Mabley. We can't have a conventional opening due to the pandemic, but if you DM me, I'll send you a coupon for a free coffee and cookie to enjoy while viewing the artwork at your leisure!

It was challenging to compose this with constantly changing light. One of the beautiful things about forests, though, is simply the value relationships and the contrast of vertical vs. horizontal movement, and at least this composition describes some of that.
