My current project is of a long driveway flanked by tall Aspen trees during Autumn. I am using a cradled birch wood panel, 24" x 48". I took this photo last November 2024 at Lake Samamish, WA.
I had to raise the "vanishing point" of the driveway since my wood panel is longer than the reference photo. Basically, the vanishing point where the driveway vanishes from view into the shadows.

After a few months and lots of paint, This painting is now complete. I am not sure of the title quite yet. But it will come to me. 

Update: I chose a title for this painting. It's called "Going Within". It will be on display at the A/NT Gallery located in the Seattle Center near the fountain. The gallery is housed in the Northwest Rooms. It will be on display from September 13th through October 25, 2025.  

Here shown, is a cradled 30"x48" birch wood panel. I applied 2 coats of white acrylic gesso to it and let it dry.

Reference Photo

Current WIP state. It's a "long road" with this painting. I will keep at it though adding leaves and branches.

Refining things at this point. I will add more branches to the trees next.

Finished painting!!!
