Not too long after being commissioned by
nambroth to do this piece, I was fortunate enough to take a trip down to the Redwoods National Forest in Northern California. While hiking through the old growth forests I took reference photos of interesting plants and lighting that I wanted to include in this picture. I had fun working those small details in, even if you can't even see them.

You captured the essence of the Redwood Forest very well. Nambroth's shape is so natural/believable and both truly are a part of the environment. If this was a little more refined plus more intense shadowing of that of a forest I would die for a print <3 These genres of paintings of 'wildlife' captured as if you're standing an undisturbing distance away and watching them certainly sell themselves.
Wow - so few comments on a work this good - this place is twisted. Excellent and impossibly well executed mood on this piece without losing the focus and composition... the lighting is diffuse and soft, what one would expect in a muted, overcast forest scene: difficult in the best of times to execute without the piece becoming flat.
Bravo! : D
