Redwood Forest

This is a watercolor of a Redwood forest similar to the ones near Humboldt State University where I attended school.  I have found that it is extremely difficult to capture the size and majesty of the Redwoods while painting or photographing them.   While reading a children's book, "You are Home" by Evan Turk, I came across a painting of Redwoods that was very beautiful.  I used it as a model for my painting. The top portion of the painting is supposed to be washed out as it is trying to show the tops of the trees lost in the mist.
