Old Stump

Old Stump

This old stump is near the front of my house. It’s as tall as I am and too big to put my arms around. When the evening light hits it just right, and the shadows show it’s depth, it is spectacular. I experimented with a looser, more impressionistic style this time, especially on the background.
