Finished

His High-ness
30" X 44"
Original Oil

Once the interstices were partially done, I realized they had to be darker to contrast more with the highlighted sections. Also since the last blog, I lightened some of the branches on the feature tree to soften their look.

Often I have trouble with titles. The title was not coming. Tree- topper, Lofty something-or-other, Passing Through, Tall whatever. Then it hit me. His High-----ness.

Wow Marc. Thank you.
I've wanted to paint this backlit tree for some time. Changed the composition, added some saturation, and of course added the giraffe. I'm glad I made the painting this big.
