In the Shade, Arbutus
   In the Shade, Arbutus

Acrylic on Canvas
Contemporary Realism

Acrylic on textured black ground, emphasizing the differences of the shaded and sun lit leaves and branches

I wanted to show only a section of the arbutus trunk in shade with the out of focus leaves etc. in the background in the sunshine. This .was to create a reversal of normal settings. I also felt the heavy texture would add to the rugged, less detailed finish.
