This is a custom redwood painting selected from one of my photos. There is something very special about Redwood trees, a soft quietness of nature. I grew up around redwoods and worked for a time in their presence, one can only feel honored to have had the opportunity.
18×24 oil on canvas.
I spent a couple days once in SF alone, before a wedding nearby. On arrival I drove across the Golden Gate Bridge on a touristy lark, then, looking for a u-turn, found the Muir Woods and surrounding state land. Spent the rest of the day there, until sunset. Magic! I still have a staff I managed to convince the airline to ship for me, taken from wood trimmed and set aside for some reason. Redwood is like no other, and the trees are larger than life! Such a day. I feel good just writing about it. Thanks.
Your great picture got me distracted – I stopped by to say Welcome and Thanks for following my blog. I love all the back and forth, it’s the one thing in blogging that rises far above other writing. ALl ideas and feedback appreciated – Greg
I still think this one is my favorite. I just love trees!
