Beech Glow

 Today is the last day of February. Here is another winter painting to mark the day.

One cold day the sun shone on a single curled leaf. The glow created by the sun’s radiance was striking. I tried to emulate the sense of light with oils on canvas. The golden hue was enhanced by the gleam of shiny oil paint. Wanting to express a sense of quietness and solitude, I left space around the single leaf.
