Sylvan Sentinels

Thanks very much Giulio I enjoyed the vertical punctuations that both the form and the silvery whites of the birches made - against the backdrop of variant autumnal hues and textures across the valley from this point. Look forward to seeing this as a large Giclee print at some point in the future

Again, I'd wish to paint like this.

Thanks ever so much Mac - I really enjoyed my two trips to these birch woods this autumn, one of my favourite species of tree. Would love to go and see the ones in Norway and their Aspen relatives along the Merced River in Yosemite one day
