Post 194: Up in the Trees 11x14 Acrylic

Painting Name: Up in the Trees

I did another painting called "Just Look Up" earlier this year, so this makes the second of looking up at the trees paintings. 

SKU: 10ED21ACG
Medium: Acrylic
Size: 11x14 Gallery Wrapped Stretched Canvas
Edition Year: 2021
Framed?: No
Check availability and Prints on my Etsy Shop
SOLD

What Brought About this Painting?

It is something like the saying of "stop and smell the roses" to me, in that we should sometimes while walking, stop and look up at the trees. If you wear glasses, sometimes a safer thing to do if a bird happens to be directly overhead at the time, but usually the view of the looking up into the canopy of the trees overhead is a calming thing to me.



There is a small surprise somewhere in the painting, I'm wondering if you will see it. Leave a comment if you find it and what it is.
