Egg Tempera Painting of “Stourhead Majestic Trees”

Last week I painted a scene of a set of trees that I’ve been intending to do for a couple of years now!  Finally it has been done.  Here it is (to see larger click on image).

Stourhead Majestic Trees Egg Tempera Painting

These trees are in a National Trust site in England, near Bath, at a place called Stourhead.  I loved the look of the tree trunks close up, and how very alive they look, along with the ground around them.  They seem immense, powerful and yet very inviting and warm.

Here’s a larger view on the scenery at Stourhead:

Egg tempera painting, by Nat Wildish, of Norton Down Methodist Church stain glass window, near Bath, in England. After going to a pub called ‘The White Post’, I took a quick photo of this building from the car as we passed. This became the inspiration for the painting.
