When we were in Annecy, France, we took some photos of a beautiful large wisteria tree with white blossoms. The branches weave up around several balconies up the building. To see photos of this tree click on the post: The Charm of Wisteria. These trees have amazing character and inspired me to do this painting in egg tempera.
'Walking Wisteria' Egg Tempera Painting 12" x 14"
This was my first attempt in egg tempera to incorporate more flow and movement into the image. I also wanted to hint at a story behind the image. I’m still wondering where this tree is going, and how, when it moves, it avoids being noticed! Don’t you wonder if trees move and walk around at night when we’re not looking and freeze back into position when daylight comes?
