Walk in the Woods

While on my walk I couldn't help but notice the way color and light interacted to bring life to everything that surrounded me. The leaves in the trees either absorbed or let the light seep through them. The trees that had color leafs reds and oranges looked as if they had been set a flame. Life buried in every corner from the wind and sun against my skin to the squirrel munching on the log below. Like in painting tints, tones and shades helped to push and pull the objects around me. The sun and its reflections pushes the tops of the trees and sky back while the shade and areas better hidden from the sun rays are brought forward. The hues and values in the dirt and bark of the trees accentuate the varying textures.
