'Stourhead Majestic Trees'

Egg Tempera Painting
11.5 x 5.5 "  (29 x 14 cm)

Trees are incredibly beautiful. They're full of lush movement with their leaves jostling to and fro in the summer. In the winter, they can often be even more lovely, reaching up with their branches, waiting, standing patiently, gently swaying in the wind. These tree trunks fascinated me with their immense feeling of depth and yet they also convey a strong sense of life, possibly even movement, right down to the earth they sink their roots into. There are a couple of photos of Stourhead, England, on DweezelJazz Art blog.
