Jim Schanz

Lately I've been wandering around in the woods with my sketchbook. I bring sketches back to my studio and expand some them into paintings. Most of these depict trees in both standing and reclining poses. The interior off the forests offers many complex compositional opportunities. Shapes move every which-way and light punches through the coloring filter of the leaf canopy.
