Tree Blossoms with Ground Hog
As I go through the paintings from the first half of the year to update the catalogue, I found this one showing tree blossoms with a ground hog scurrying past. There was another painting of tree blossoms down in the park Jean Drapeau done on the same location, I am not sure why I didn't scan and blog about this one earlier, I actually like it better than the other one. It seems here, the tree was done entirely wet in wet with magenta (PR122) and a bit of violet (PV55) dabbed in. The branches and trunk appear to glow green, signifying the light mossy coating. The ground hog just stood there staring at me for a moment before taking off. To make the flowers really appear to glow, the rest of the scene has to be drab, which it was back in April.
