Reaching Tree, 16 x 20, Ron Donoughe

Sometimes a simple shadow is the reward for seeing. I titled this Reaching Shadow because it appeared to extend the entire width of this oddly windowed house.


I usually don't paint interiors, but this one done seven years ago at The Westmoreland Museum of American Art was just acquired for their collection. I'm so proud to say this is the third piece of mine in their collection of American Art. Thank you to the Westmoreland Society and the museum for making this possible.  http://www.wmuseumaa.org/

Congratulations on the Westmoreland acquisition Ron...and I love the Reaching Shadow painting. I used my thumb to cover up the tree and then just focused on the shadow and it took on an eerie demeanor like something out of an Edward Gorey book. Very nicely done.
