16:9 full-frame backlit, radiant, heavy impasto palette knife painting of a beech tree alley on a late summer evening. The sunset filters through the massive tree trunks gnarled trunks in shades of brown, green, and blue. The sun is brightest in the upper left-hand corner. It casts long shadows across the forest floor filled with neon golden-yellow vegetation. The abstract painting is nearly psychedelic, with dozens of spots and color fields representing Art-Nouveau-like ornaments, in fact representing sunlight filtering through the leaf canopy of the trees. The color fields are layered on the painting with thick paint applied with a palette knife. Several beech trees stand loosely spaced in a line from the lower left to the horizon line above the lower third of the image. The rich foliage is a joyful, chaotic mix of various shades of red, yellow, green, and black. The overall style is highly abstract and expressionistic, with bold color contrasts and thick paint. The high-contrast color scheme, the flat areas of thick oil paint, and the loose brushwork are reminiscent of the art of Post-Impressionists. Powerful, museum-quality rendition of a simple motif of sunrays shining through beech trees.
