With this oil painting, I recorded the shapes and my initial color reactions to the subject over several nights, and then I completed the painting in the studio today. The colors and abstract shapes of the bamboo and other trees were quite striking, and I hope to have captured some of that beauty in this work.

The trees against the rain forest are really striking! I'm so glad you are having fun! xoxoxo
Weird. Very different from the others. Strange the difference in abstract nature vs. abstract architecture.
I love it, Brad! Seriously, one of the best you have ever painted.

Not so! Some of us will end up as compost.
The outline of dreams,
the taste of damp heat.
The forest breathes a strange but coherent energy.
