For this oil painting, I went to a place near me where certain trees are standing in the water almost all year. It is a kind of unusual sight, but also very captivating to see how the trees and their reflections in the water seem to blend together. Then next to this there is the reflection of the light of the sky, which even on this very calm day was slightly moving.
The scene was very suitable for an abstract composition that leaned into the somewhat strange atmosphere of reflections. And for the colors, I went for olive green and earth tones, with a few touches of light blue and violet.
