Cathedral of Trees

an abstracted forest made of thick, long brush strokes in many shades of green; the center of the image is quite bright and the stokes around the edges are dark with sections almost black — oil on canvas, 48″ × 32″

Abundance

a stylized painting of many-lobed green leaves with a background of tree branches; the leaves are dark against the lighter background as if looking up toward the sun from within a forest — oil on canvas, 48″ × 32″
