Quicksilver Morning Oak

I woke up super early last Saturday to go to Almaden Quicksilver park. I haven't been there since I was a kid. Getting up early on Saturdays is not something I usually do but I really wanted to collect inspiration in the morning light.

This oak was right across from the parking lot. Looking at it now if I ever repaint this scene I might handle the foreground grass differently...

This is part of my ongoing 6x8 series. I was gonna post paintings in the order I completed them and I'm still going to do that. However I've got about seven others done that I think I'll post and write about before I go back to chronological order...
