Here is “King’s Canyon Sun.”
My photos of redwood trees from my trip to King’s Canyon National Park several years ago inspired the shapes of the trees in this oil painting.
The angles of the trees as they converge give us the three-dimensional sensation of being under the wide round dome of a big blue sky.
On that trip, my family and I camped under the trees and stars every night and hiked through the old growth redwood forests every day. My memories of those explorations are filled with the sunlight shifting through the trees and beaming down from the treetops hundreds of feet above.
Much of the time I’ve spent in California is forever linked in my memories with the quality of the sunlight. The sun there can be harsh and unrelenting. But at the same time, it casts everything in its beautiful light, and makes everything feel just a bit more energized.
The sunlight filling the sky in this painting is a brilliant white that bursts towards us powerfully! I painted the trees in all the colors of the rainbow.
The white negative shapes created by the light shining through the trees create interesting abstract patterns.
The overall effect is glorious, like a celebration that lifts our spirits.
Hi Cedar,
I am an Art Consultant with DAC Art Consulting in Atlanta, GA. We received a request for a quote from a hotel in Pigeon Forge and they have spec’d one of your pieces, King Canyon’s Sun for their public space. I wanted to reach out to see if you are able to license this image for a fee (we have our own in-house printer) or if you already have it with another printing vendor. I didn’t see it on Saatchi. It looks like this is a bid job so you may have already been contacted by other art consultants. Feel free to provide the same pricing.
