Event Painting

The Light




This painting is a copy of a picture I took on central park, In this painting you can see that the trees are very dark and that some of the leafs are brighter than others. To make the painting I transferred the image to an illustration board with transfer paper. I started by painting the background, then the trees and finally all the details in the leaves using three different shades of green.
In this painting the horse represents strength, and I consider my grandmother a really strong person. She has always liked nature and in these trees the shadows could also represent a dark side of a situation, which in this case is the surgery she had. The bright background is an opening to a new opportunity of living.
