Redwood Forest Studies.
These paintings reminded me of growing up in Northern Cali. My brother and I would pretend to be wookies and ewoks in our backyard that came right out of a set from “Return of the Jedi”. I did the artwork for a game concept, but I couldn’t resist painting the locations from memory to resemble the forest backdrop of my childhood adventures!

Matt,
So that’s your secret! I think I remember these. As always, your environments are breathtaking.

Dang! That is wild how they just dissolve into abstract shapes and colors up close, but are so effing solid when you pull away. I’m really infatuated with these (and the rest of your work).

Matt,
I’ve been a huge fan of your color sense for a while now, but I didn’t know you had a blog! Way cool

I think I’ve walked these woods as a child, and more recently in my head. Gorgeous work!
