Jan 29 - Giant Sitka Spruce at Point Perpetua

Being at the foot of this tree was an exhilarating experience!
There was an hour and a half drive to the Pacific Coast and then a two hour hike through a magical forest to get there. I was filled with a childlike enthusiasm.  
I love Oregon!
I waited to the second to last day of the 30/30 challenge to paint it because none of the images we took did it any justice. The painting still does not capture the height or girth of this gem. So use your imagination and know that it ( I should give it a name!) is over 185' tall and 40' in circumference!
This piece is acrylic on canvas panel and is 14" X 11".
