I recently finished this small oil painting based on the Roman Pines that I saw on our trip to Italy. I took a lot of liberty with the colors. This past fall I was noticing, as I do every year, the vivid yellows in the trees here in Atlanta. Yellow is a standout color for me especially against a blue sky. I wanted to include those colors in a piece and I wanted to do another Roman Pines painting so I combined the two. Couldn’t help but be influenced again by Georgia O’Keeffe. I call it “Transitioning”.

Thanks for the comments.
The colors are so bright and vibrant. I like the swirls of the trees foliage and the negative space created by the sky and the clouds.
It’s beautiful & being influenced buy Georgia O’Keefe can’t be a bad thing- & I’d go for Gaugain on the colours!! Happy New year too!
