Plein Air Tree Study

This is a plein air study of a pine tree with dappled, morning light.  The patches of light had a reddish color.  I noticed how the bark of the pines change from red to grey, depending on the time of day.  This is a very tall tree and I was looking up to paint the top section.  Sometimes I use a plein air session to do this type of quiet, simple study instead of painting a larger view.
