I really like the play of light on trees. A hillside exposes lots of trees to the special light of the setting sun. Actually, painting is all about the light ... and using some fun colours. This was fun!I painted on a green tinted canvas which was planned to be the complementary colour of the red sunset light. The idea was to make the colours sparkle and scintillate. Maybe it worked. I am no comedian but I call this the Red Green approach to light and life. Remember, we are all in this together! That is how my simple mind remembers the complementary colours.
I typically do not buy or use a tube of any shade of green. I mix my own. Sometimes this is not the case though. Some colours are best to be bought and some colours can only be bought.
