This is my submission for Michelle Burnett's moleskine book for the Flying Moleskin project. I have often heard visitors to California remark about the palm trees on their first view of the area. Michelle had asked that the artists who paint in her book paint anything to do with the artist or where they are from. So being from sunny southern California where these palms tower over many public spaces and streets, the trees were my choice. Having painted them before, I thought it would come easily...hmmm, guess again!
Hope you like this Michelle!
Love your palm trees soaring into the wide blue yonder. I think that's a difficult format to paint within, but of course you nailed it, awesome work, Dana!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great choice for this format...... Love your palms !
ReplyDeleteI'm a freak for palm trees so I adore this one! Sooo nice, so relaxing to look at them and they're so wonderfully handled. Of course. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love it, Dana! Those tall palm trees are such a wonderful sight to see from my snowy home. Thanks so much for such a wonderful painting which I will treasure!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job on this Dana. I like the movement created in the leaves. You almost ran out of room with those extra tall trees...ha!
ReplyDeleteLove the palm trees, Dana - they are perfect for the format.
ReplyDeleteGreat long, tall, stretching for the Heavens look! Very well done, Dana!
ReplyDeleteThey are glorious! and couldn't be more perfect for the towering format. Beautifully done. I wish I were there!
