Buried Beneath a Tree

As I mentioned in yesterday's posting, this painting is buried beneath a drip painting that was covered, in turn, by a plein painting of a tree. I still like this image a lot.

This was originally meant to be the first layer of a Franz Kline style abstract painting. When I added the black calligraphic structures, things got awful so I turned it into a drip painting. I wrote about Kline here.
