Forest Light--Original American Landscape Oil Painting

A photo reference of a path in the Redwood Forest of Northern California is the inspiration for this 8x10 inch oil painting. The reference is from the Wetcanvas Reference Image Library, a public domain collection of photos available for artistic reference. I have visited the Redwoods numerous times, but mostly passing through on route to more southern cities. Because of my love of hiking and exploring natural habitats, I want to visit again very soon. In retrospect, I wish I had placed a few people in the painting; it is only through a comparison to man that one can appreciate the amazing size of these ancient trees.
