Please contact me if you are interested in this artwork or a commission.
I decided to take another look at the beautiful old oak tree that was my subject in the Treescape pastel painting I posted on December 20th. I love the how strong, yet ancient it looked out there in the field all alone. Instead of focusing on its strength and texture, I wanted to show its “separateness” in this piece so I chose a square format that allowed more of the receding landscape to show. I really find it fascinating how the same subject can inspire different approaches.

Just came across your blog for the first time and felt I had to leave a comment for you. Really loved what I have seen here. A wonderful painting with such beautiful colours and depth. I will definately come back from time to time to see your future work. If you would like to visit my site and leave a comment in my guestbook I´d welcome you to do that, as I always enjoy hearing from fellow art enthusiasts. All the best, Anna
