The rainforest is full of bright colors and endless shades of green. This small painting represents the view of one of my casita’s windows, a view I am very familiar with now, and was painted from life. The tree on the left is a type of conifer, while the tree on the right is bamboo. The green forest covered hills are in the background.
The colors are somewhat accurate, only desaturated. I enjoy this style of painting, breaking down reality into shapes and colors, and when painting in this style, the color relationships become extremely important.

Brad, what does desaturated mean? Is is supposed to make it look kind of sureal? xoxo
I was wondering when one of these was gonna show up. I was looking for the "whites" rain forrest. It's interesting but leaves me feeling a little desaturated myself. Hmmm. I don't think I like this style.
Study in green:
the many shades of imagination,
endlessly modified,
the conifer,
the bamboo,
the echo of some other love.
(As desaturated as I can get.)
