(2021. Acrylic, unframed.
This is the largest and very last of my 2021 ‘Twilight’ series of monochromatic blue tree paintings. The series was inspired by summer sunset walks— those final minutes of light as the sky turns to a watery blue and all the branches turn to silhouettes.
The translucent layers in this acrylic painting give it a wonderful glow. The darker blue undercoat was painted thinly and allowed to show through as the shapes of the leaves. The paler blue twilight sky was scrubbed on in multiple sheer layers with the darkness showing through to create a glow.
