One of my favorite spots in Fort Tryon Park is a park bench that looks out over a relatively nondescript shady wooded patch dominated by 3 tall trees that I think of as "the three sisters". Sometimes, by summer (if it isn't mowed down in spring) there is a fern that grows at the base of one of the trees. In the late afternoon, there is just enough sunlight that comes through an illuminates that fern. I tried to capture that sense of the backlight bright green fern among the tall, shady trees.
This painting was started in Paul Ching-Bor's class "New Techniques in Water Media" at The Art Students League of New York, and completed in my studio.
"Three Sisters" was included in, and featured as the promotional image for, the group show "A Summer Wave" in July-August 2019 at the Hebrew Tabernacle Gold Wing Gallery, NYC.
