Sketch Painting by Brian Sindler: Maple Frame

Tall trees, a hazy sun, and a whole afternoon gone peach.

Number 3 is a sketch painting by Brian Sindler, acrylic on board in a maple frame, from 2020 to 2024. Backlit trees against a low sun are a time honored landscape subject, mostly because the silhouettes do half the drawing. A tall, crowned tree with pale trunks rises on the left, with a smaller rounded one at right. Between them, a pale sun burns through a peach sky over a band of mauve hills. A brown slope fills the foreground, loosely brushed. The panel is 7 by 7 inches in its frame; the image is 6 inches square.

Warm enough to make the shade look appealing.
