It shines at its best during the autumn season

We had a beautiful fall season here in east Tennessee and at the end of an especially gorgeous day

Study, Summer Oak Mini It shines at its bestWhen I first began my painting career, my mentor told me that every tree is an individual personality. It took me many years of observing and honing my skills to appreciate what he meant. This moment from near my home in Knoxville, Tennessee is a celebration of the permanency of a majestic oak and the fleeting beauty of a summer evening sky. This mini is the initial study for a larger painting, Summer Oak.
