For the nature lovers! These are one of my own favourite paintings as very striking but also cool and calm. Inspired by my own backyard in the Adelaide Hills and also my memories of my grandmas place as a kid. I loved the fuzzy flowers we used to crumble up and use in our mud pies. Now they become an issue when I paint outside during the months they float away from the tree and end up in my paintings but still love them. Or drop a heavy branch when gardening and even painting as I splatter on my lawn. Wanted to create a contrast with these trees to their background for a dramatic effect. The background has a light texture and the trunks have heavy textures. This is my first Birch Trees using my new background effect. Background has a mix of blues, green blues, pinks, golds, whites. Finished with a satin varnish. The close ups show their colours and textures better. It's hard to capture its real textures in photos the trees have heaps more texture. Painted around the edges ready to hang.
