This small painting shows a view looking up into the mass of green of a fir tree on a rocky slope. I love this angle and the sweeping leaves of these huge trees. These trees are big and standing directly beneath them seems to magnify their largeness. This view is different from most tree paintings. It catches the eye and makes the viewer think. Ink and watercolor.

Hi Terry
This ones looking good.
Have you ever tried using ink of any other colour than black? The watercolours are so delicate tih such a nice texture, they are kinda overwhlemed by the heaviness of the black. I know that black lines are what you see everywhere, but I think that for this tree espeiclly balck is too much.
I really like the perspective though, that's a good interpretation of the word Magnify. Maybe smaller choppier brushstrokes would indiate the foliage better than the big swipes you've taken.
The lines do look good on the rocks though ;) lovely jagged rocks you got there! :)
Thanks for your comments. Adam--some good thoughts.
