I’ve been dealing with a back injury for about a month,
(not fun)
and taking a walk in the woods every day
has been excellent therapy.
Not to mention how inspiring the intense
light and shadow patterns are at this time of year.
Below (L-R) is the image I used as a reference,
a quick sketch I did, the “start” over an old painting
that had a lot of texture, and the first version.
I wanted to capture the magic of the woods
and that feeling of walking into the light.
Happy Fall!
