The sun peeks through a stand of trees silhouetted against a background of pure gold. Hand numbered in pencil 64/99. The viewer almost feels the need  to squint their eyes when looking at the sun peeking through this stand of slender trees. Predominantly done in a golden yellow, there are flashes of many other colors on some of the trunks as the sunlight is refracted.  One of the artist’s largest works.
