Cypress Knees
encaustic mixed media
Size of Piece: 16 x 16 x 1.5

My journey to paint Cypress Knees gained momentum during the pandemic. When all things art were closed, the outdoors was still open. I began exploring my own street. All the trees in my neighborhood were captured. Next in my list was Cypress knees. To find some appealing to me, I visited about six different settings.

Fortunately I found a huge collection of knees surrounding a Cypress tree grove. I set up my easel and sat in front of a tree close enough to see the veins of leaves and other features. Nature is excellent at composition so often I had an easy time to convey the sense of what I was seeing.

This picture has had a joyful life.
