Other painting.

I saw another picture in the AZ highways mag. I liked the way the
sunlight filtered down thru the trees. I decided to use the idea in a
painting. I started out with a mountain in the far background, but
didn't like what room was left on the canvas, so painted it out and
decided to show sun coming down thru the trees this way. Started out
too light so I darkened it up, then it was too dark. I lightened it
up a bit, and added some big trees and a stream that changed course
right away. I wanted a cougar in this painting but already had one
with rocks so painted in a dead tree for him. Tree changed positions a
couple of times til I got it where it didn't look cluttered. Damn,
that cougar needed something to do besides walk up a tree, so added
the squirrel for lunch, if he could catch it.
