I recently put the finishing touches on Minnippi, Tree, Downward Perspective.
I painted this from an unusual, downward perspective. This really accentuates the cylinder form of the tree and gives us a more direct look at the tiny ripples in the water. It reminds me of Claude Monet’s Water Lily series.
A key takeaway from this painting is to keep an open mind when looking for something to paint. It’s so easy to get caught up painting the same subjects over and over again. But you never know what kind of weird, unusual, and interesting subjects you’ll find when you look up and down.
Happy painting!
