Acrylic on canvas board 16x20ins. I love trees in winter, so I repainted a rejected July picture into a December one, as an opportunity to practice low-key colour harmonies, so I didn't bother with fussy detail (there is an accurate drawing in the "Poisonous Plants" book we published). The camera has 'seen' through my muted glazes and isolated colour (infuriating) so imagine the original being a little more muted than this. The real tree is in the churchyard at Crowhurst, Surrey, and has been calculated at about 4,000 years old. It's 32 feet round.
