Eucalyptus, Woodside

The variety of colors in Eucalpytus trees make them interesting to paint.  The Eucalpytus tree in my painting, has a light gray-brown colored trunk with red, yellow and blue tones in the peeling bark.  The immature leaves are rounded in shape and a cool blue color, while the mature leaves are elongated and a warm green tone.  As the leaves age they change to a translucent red-orange color.  Nature creates all the beautiful color, I just have to be observant.
