It's no secret that I like birch trees. They often appear in my paintings both as subjects and in support of a largerimage. Finding interesting birch trees to paint is often on my mind as I travel around. One day I noticed some birch trees near the Winooski River right near my home! This got me excited to paint another birch tree painting, but first I wanted to explore different views and compositions. This study was the one I chose for the larger "Edge Of A Birch Wood" painting. I liked the study so much I finished it as a small painting, which is what this is. Small, but very much a nice painting, I am finding for the first time I enjoy the freedom and simplicity of painting small instead of having to think about all the extra elements to consider in a larger work.
