Comments

Very atmospheric and well painted indeed.

Love it. You’ve added such atmosphere. I have a tree ( very like this) which I call my tree. It’s on the way to the beach, in the dunes. I’m always solicitous of it - has it survived the winter etc. Someone hung a Xmas decoration on it, I will paint it at some time, definitely.

Fabulous piece Collette! I love these twisted and gnarled trees shaped by the elements. Full of character and wonder.

This is well done Collette.

Love this. It reminds me of Chinese painting style I’ve tried in the past with a bent pine and lots of space around

Extremely atmospheric and it works so well on the newsprint background.

I like your use of antique newspaper again, it's very evocative.

Love this and the fact it’s painted on news paper adds to its appeal ☺️

Love that it is painted so beautifully on old newspaper which takes it to another level.

Acrylic on wood panel A3 297 x 420 mm 11.7 x 16.5 inches. Antique newspaper attached to panel with acrylic binder then coated with clear gesso. This tree is near my home. It struck me that we are all bent by the prevailing wind. We all are pushed in one direction or another by what we see and hear constantly.
