Medium
Painting - Acrylic On Canvas
Description
This painting was completed in 2004 from a reference photo taken nearly 25 years earlier at Echo Lake in British Columbia. The tree roots were on the shore line and had been exposed by many years of the water eroding away the soil. I used a heavy impasto gel to build up the winding roots for texture before applying paint.
Note: fineartamerica watermark will NOT appear on the final product.

Very nicely done! They look like roots of some of the large fig trees here in Florida. l/f
