Are the trees dead or why are they so white? I have never been to this spot, so you will have to fill me in! A very different type of landscape,,,, almost a ghostly scene!
Artist Reply: Julie, it was winter and no leaves on the trees. The sun was apparently shining on the trees making them look white. You can see the sun behind some dark trees on the right and it shone across the river making them look white. Also I think there were white tree trunks and limbs. It's been awhile since I was up there. Hugs, Sharon
This is really one of your better works. I love the sky and your use of light in the background of the trees is very nice. Your are worthy of all the praise and compliments you have receaved here.
