Rowan - tree of protection by Fiona Phipps

Comments

Love it Fiona.

That's a lovely Rowan Fioba - I love tree lore too.

A great, loose, sketch Fiona. Love Roman trees with their rich red berries.

Such a delicate but confident way of dealing with this lovely subject Fiona .

Like this very much.

So delicately done - super, Fiona!

The grey paper and marks made make a lovely atmospheric sketch

A lovely and subtle sketch Fiona

Delicate and “ wispy”(is that a word?), it has an atmosphere.

Very nice piece Fiona.

You have certainly captured a bit of magic here Fiona. It looks like your style is developing or changing.

Delicate and delightful Fiona. Good to see the amount of berries on it. Sign of a hard winter maybe?

Thank you so much everyone for your encouraging and kind comments, very much appreciated. The photo hasn’t transferred very well on posting…..😏

Thank you Gudrun.

Love this, Fiona. And I’ve learnt something about the Rowan tree.

Thanks very much Ellen!

The grey background is very effective Fiona and makes the Rowan even more prominant.

Yes beautifully painted Fiona.

Many thanks John and Shaun for your positive feedback.

Another beauty!

It’s like one of the Old Masters drawing- it’s stunning

Rachel, wow……thank you so much. You’ve made my week!

12”x9” conte sketch….sanguine, sepia, graphite on Strathmore grey. Growing on the edge of the wood behind me, glowing with berries and looking lovely. Reputed to be the most potent tree for protection, especially against witchcraft and magic.
