HEAVEN'S GATE
Of all the nature works I have created, this one is my favorite. Processed as an oil painting, it would look fantastic if it were printed on a 32" X 18" canvas. As a matter of fact, a canvas print of this particular work hangs in my living room. The location of where I took the photographs that became this work is at Mile Marker 19 on The Blue Ridge Parkway.
I broke every rule of nature photography in this work. I did not wait until the golden hour and I had to do some cropping to get the composition I wanted. But I really like how the shadow and highlighted areas of the work combine to give it depth.
I hope you enjoy it too.
Cheers,
Paul
