Looks like you have some big old trees in that area. Love the shadows and composition.

There's a special mood to this painting, very fine sun light is coming through the leaves and in between the tree trunks. Very well done!

Thanks, Jo, Moscatel.
Yes, many very fine old trees at the ranch and surrounding it are miles of open space district forests, old growth.

Love this, as I said in the other thread, wonderful light and shadow.

Thanks, Ayin.

it's a nice rendering of a tall tale from youth when things held mystery.

Wayne, that's a lot to read into it! If you saw this property with its ancient trees, you might well conjure up such visions.

.. the drawing (sketch} or whatever holds all the power .. different coloring could take that a lot of different places.
