Fallen, Newbay Forest

It became very dull when I started to paint on Wednesday afternoon (13/10/10). So I had to invent the light to some extent. I also played around with a few other things to make the painting a bit more expressive (I had the sense of this old tree putting up a fight before it succumbed to the inevitable and I tried to convey that).

Comment by Kevin Gough on October 17, 2010 at 7:04: Nice work again Michael, I'm always impressed by your ability to create so much depth in your work.

Comment by Michael McGuire on October 15, 2010 at 13:05: Thanks Karen. It was fun anyway to try to push things a little.
