I took this reference photo a year ago and when I was looking around for a subject to paint, this tree, full with character caught my eye. I cropped it a lot because I wanted to focus on the directions that the trunk took. I stayed loose and had fun (as always).
Nice composition Roger. I don't recall you doing gnarled branch formations before. It's a nice twist. :-)
SvaraRaderaI like the abstract quality and strong dark value of the tree. Great!
SvaraRaderaThis is a fun one - Love the tree trunk, and I like how light the sky gets, with just a few thoughtful hints of the deeper tones. Very skillfully done.
SvaraRaderaHi Roger, i like your style, this painting is fantastic! Nice Blog. :)
SvaraRaderaWOW and another WOW!
SvaraRaderaThis knocked my socks off with the power of the design and I love the deeper blue between the leaves.
Love the movement in this one, Roger! Great colors that really reflect the light that you have captured.
SvaraRaderaVery interesting painting with very amazing blue colours !!!
SvaraRaderaJ'adore la forme des branches de votre arbre... Je me dis que c'est un arbre qui a mal vécu son adolescence !
SvaraRaderaToujours de merveilleuses couleurs !
Gros bisous
I love that crooked trunk , gorgeous painting !
