Landscape: Nature

This piece is a landscape of a natural setting. There is a lot of use of line in this image, the lines both of the trees themselves and the lines on the tree bark that give it the sense of texture it has; then also the lines of the shadows the trees are casting and even the darkened shadow line on the front tree. There is also an implied line created by the trees themselves, this implied line is curved and line the line to the background curves around the hill gradually. The line of the background curve takes you to the horizon line at the base of the faded background trees. You can see that the piece is draw from uphill as the shadows are caste diagonally sloping down the hill. You can see the further off  trees are might lighter than the closer ones causing the sense of distance as well as the detail such as the circular patterns on the front tree not to mention the shadow. While the front tree and its shadow are definitely areas of interest there’s no obvious focal point for the image.
