Old trees

So well painted, Paul!

Lovely painting

The misty background is very nicely depicted. May I ask what the red splashes on the ground represent?

Great stuff Paul!

Thank you for your kind comments David, Anne and Lucian. The red spots are the remaining leaves that fell in the autumn, the seem to hold a red, bronze colour for months then suddenly start to decay. Most of the trees in the Chilterns are beech Lucian and are know for there autumn colours, often it’s knee deep in leaves in some places .

Thank you Alan for taking the time to look and comment it’s appreciated.

Wonderful dynamic shapes.

Definitely autumnal. The trees here are changing colour fast. Lovely painting Dixie, I like the old tree trunks.

Great trees.

Magnificent specimens Paul with their silver-ish bark and copper leaves, a perfect painting subject. Are they known as the mother of trees in folklore?
