Yesterday I worked for quite some time on this one. The idea for it popped into my head a couple days ago while we were hiking in the bush. A lot of trees have moss growing on them and I was struck by the bright green that coated the branches of these trees. The sun was shining through and they were just glowing.
I love trees... I always have. I remember as a child, building tree forts in the summer and just climbing and hanging out in our willow trees. One of my favourite books as a child was "Miss Twiggly's Tree" . It was a story about a woman who lived in a tree with her dog (named Puss), and a coloured TV.... "she did what she liked, and she liked what she did.... but when company came... Miss Twiggly hid". Miss Twiggly eventually ended up saving the town when it rained and flooded. It was a great story.
Anyways... I think my love of trees is reflected in a lot of my paintings.... this one in particular. There is a lot of movement, texture and colour in these 2 beauties and I was lost in them for several hours. Today.... I will add the beautiful moss. Looking forward to it.
