Provenance
Acquired by American Legacy Fine Arts directly from the artist

Description
Painted en plein air in Eaton Canyon near the artist's home at the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. The subject focuses on the trunks of a grouping of blue gum eucalyptus trees. The unique texture of the bark is heightened by a play of dappled light and shadow. By portraying the base of these stately trees Solliday expresses qualities of strength and character.
