Trail in Confederation park

This one has a lot of details! I had spent maybe an hour walking around looking for a spot and was getting pretty tired. This may not have been the most ideal but I wanted to just paint! There were a million trees in front of me and how to capture that feel with putting in every branch was the question. I ended up with more details than I ever had for my paintings, it's not necessarily a bad thing, it was just the only way I was able to portray all the trees.

Of course the light changed from sunny to cloudy to half way in between. One good thing from painting the woods is I am working up my confidence in tackling a complex subject.
