Old and Gnarled

Good one Paul, trees done nicely 👍

It turned out really well, both the tree and the wall.

Great character in the old trees Dixie. I like the detail of the broken branch, the stone wall and big chunks of stone around the tree.

Great sense of texture and tonal variation.

Another good tree study!!

Stephen, Andrew, Tessa, Mark and David many thanks for your kind comments they are appreciated. I did enjoy painting this and found it quite relaxing. It’s a little bit darker in reality but not much .

It has turned out great Paul, wonderful colours in the stonework.

Well done Paul. I particularly like the broken branch too and the way you’ve painted the big stones and wall.

Thank you Denise and Christine for thaking the time to look and comment it’s really appreciated.

Another beauty, love it.

What a wonderful tree of character Paul that twists and turns in all directions. The inclusion too of the old stone wall adds to this lovely painting.

Wonderful shape to the trees.

Valerie, Chris and Stephen thank you for your comments .

A very characterful tree and wall, nicely painted!

A wonderful sinuous and organic shape to your tree Paul. I like the palette very much, soft and subtle.

Super Dixie.

These old trees have so much character - like the colours and the detail in the wall.

Glad you went for it Paul. It’s lovely. Your colour choices, especially in the rocks and wall, beautiful.

Love the movement in the trees, and the colors :)
