Most of my tree and grove paintings are out of my imagination, but I was enamored with a tree that I saw while out and about. I was able to snap a photograph and have done three different interpretations of this tree.
I love how this tree is
asymmetrical, yet balanced.

Using my photo editor, I was able to remove the background, and get a better sense of the tree's structure. (c)2013 Eric E. Paige |
The first version is in a copper verdigris finish:
Here is the painting with the copper undercoat.

Spot glazing on the tree makes it stand out.

The next one is in all metallics:

The tree is top coated in metallics (c)2013 Eric E. Paige |
The final coat is a glaze to help bring out the bas-relief texture (c)2013 Eric E. Paige |
Great trees!
