Reclamation

In this painting, I am showing nature in all it's glory, doing what it does best; changing the landscape, as it wishes. Here, a former forest is being returned to swampland. You can see the drowned trunks giving you a glimpse of what it used to be. The swamp seems to be flourishing and healthy. I wonder as I paint, how long it will take for the forest to slowly reappear. 

                           

This was painted on an 11x14 board, from a photograph, inside. Oh I miss plein air!
