new Surrealisti small drawing of a Tree

Here is one of my newest trees, that I created using archival pens on paper.

Tree with A Spider Form within.....

This is my newest drawing of an imaginary tree.
It has a shape within it, that is reminiscent of a spider's web.
This is a small-sized drawing, that I created using archival pens on paper.

Single Tree with a Few Berries on it...

This is a drawing that I created a couple of weeks ago and that I sold a couple of days ago.

This drawing is 6 x 4 inches, which is a bit smaller than the last painting I created with berries.


I have a large collection of tree artwork that I created on Flickr.
Here is a link to it.

Black Tree with Berries

Here is my newest painting of three trees. The black tree with berries, takes center stage, so to speak.

This painting, that I created in gouache on paper, measures 8 x 4.5 inches.

Original Drawing of Purple Tree

Here is my original drawing of "The Expansive Purple Tree."
This is a rendition of an imaginary tree that is very strong and has survived despite living through the severest of weather conditions.

my Cobalt Blue Tree

This is my newest painting of an imaginary tree. It measures approximately 6 x 8.5 inches. And, I created in using gouache on paper.

This painting began as a cloud study that I created a few months ago. I looked at the cloud study a couple of days ago and felt it did not work. I decided the cloud study needed to include a tree......thus the Cobalt Tree was born. :)

Purple & Magenta Tree

Here is my newest painting that I completed today. It measures approximately 7 x 8 inches. I created it using gouache on paper.

original painting ... Red Tree with Clouds

Here is one of my personal favorites of my series of imaginary trees....

my newest small Painting of a Black Tree

Here she is, rather small in size, measuring 5.25 x 3.25 inches.
I created this piece using gouache on rough 300 lb. Fabriano paper.

It is another tree in my ongoing series of Fantasy Trees.

most recent Drawing of three Trees

Here is my newest small drawing I created of 3 trees that are growing independent of one another, but near to each other.

They seem to share a particular location in fantasyland.

I would like to draw and paint more pieces that incorporate more than one tree.

The mother tree has some of her limbs protectively placed near her child. :)

Original Painting of Fantasy Tree

Here is my newest painting of an imaginary tree, that I created using gouache paint on 300 lb. watercolor paper.

I think it exudes a feeling of tranquility and that the branches are graceful and delicate.

Here is my newest drawing of a tree... a tree with pods, that is.....

I am pleased with how it turned out.

Riot of Color - Tree Drawing

This drawing, that I completed tonight, measures 6.25 x 7.5 inches.
It is a complex arrangement of lines that create shapes that are lyrical and turbulent.

Two New Paintings of Trees

Here are 2 recently painted renditions of trees. In each painting, there is more than one tree!
Who knows, perhaps I am at the start of a new direction for my work, in creating renditions of more than one tree.

What I do know, for sure, is that I continue to love creating single trees with different personalities. :)

Red Tree & Clouds

This is a painting that I completed work on yesterday. It measures 5 x 8 inches.

new drawing of a Bare Tree

I am very pleased with this drawing that I call, "Summer Tree."

The touches of green that I use in this drawing represent leaves to me in some way, even though the tree is bare.
I suppose I am very pleased with the tree's shape.

my newest Red Tree

My newest painting of a red tree is here. It has quite a few touches of purple and magenta in addition to red and a couple of other colors.
I have entitled this painting, "Clear Red Tree."

a New Painting of a Tree!!! YaY!!!

I completed this painting of a tree tonight, I am delighted to say.
And, working on it, was a joyful experience, too!
So, can I help it if I am pleased with myself???

I hope everyone is enjoying their day. :=)

Bare Brown Tree with touches of purple color

Here is my newest drawing of a tree that I created on 2 subway trips, going into Manhattan and back to my home.
I feel a sense of accomplishment in creating this drawing.
I am pleased with it.
It is a small drawing, measuring 4.75 x 5.25 inches.

New Drawing of Purple Tree

Here is my newest drawing of a purple tree. I was interested in drawing a tree that is much more horizontal than vertical and so here she is!

This piece is 4.5 x 7.5 inches.

newest Drawing of a Bare Tree

If this tree were to speak to us, it might say:
"Hello world, it's good to be here! Let me live a peaceful life and enjoy my solitude!"

Pink & Green Drawing of Electric Tree

Here is my newest drawing of an electric tree! It has energy and movement and the colors work together to create a buzz of electricity!

This piece is small measuring 5.75 x 7 inches.

Thanks for viewing my drawing!

new Drawing of Red Tree

Here is my newest drawing of a red tree.......
Creating this drawing was akin to stream of consciousness writing.....


This drawing is small, measuring 4 x 6 inches. I created it using acid-free pens on 140 lb. Canson paper.

Under Mother's Watchful Eye by Nina Kuriloff

I call this drawing of mine, "Under Mother's Watchful Eye."
In this drawing the mother tree is very protective of the baby tree, who is her daughter.

The protectiveness of mothers towards their children is a universal theme.

small Drawing of Lonely Purple Tree

This may be one of the loneliest trees I have ever created.
It looks terribly sad.

drawing of Red Tree Eye

Here is one of my newest drawings which is that of a surrealistic red tree.
This tree is 6 x 9 and 1/8 inches.

I am happy with how it turned out.

There is an eye within this tree. Do you see it?

tree artwork

The last few days have been inordinately draining, from an emotional viewpoint. And as a result, I find myself drawing trees. I just seem to find comfort in the act of creating trees.

My pens and paper are very portable. I am very grateful that this
is the case.

I have a 2.5 hour plane trip ahead and I look forward to working on a new drawing of a tree as soon as I am settled on the plane tonight.

New Bare Brown Tree

It's been awhile since I have drawn or painted a tree.
I completed this piece tonight and am glad I did.
I am very pleased with this drawing. I like its feeling of delicacy and the spidery shapes that are part of it.
I saw a tree on the way home from work that sparked my interest; this particular tree was the inspiration for this particular drawing.

small Drawing of Tree in Psychedelic Color

Here is my small drawing of a tree, that measures 3.5 x 2.5 inches.
It is a vibrantly colorful piece. It is also part of my ongoing series of Fantasy Trees.

Pink and Purple Drawing of a Fantasy Tree

This is a drawing I began yesterday and completed today.
I used new pens with a thicker point to create parts of this drawing....these pens are very vibrant in color.

This was a fun piece to work on.

Drawing of a Wild Tree

This drawing is small, measuring 3.5 x 3.75. The colors are wild and somewhat psychedelic.
I find this piece to be on fire.

Anyway, thanks for viewing it!

Green & Pink and Surreal Drawing of a Tree

This is the drawing that I began working on, as I sat on a subway train for 45 minutes.
I continued working on it, while listening to the Clinton/Obama debate on television tonight.
This drawing is surreal and I think the use of color is psychedelic.

a New Tree that I created today

Here she is.... a new multicolored tree!

Thanks for viewing my small drawing.

2 recent Drawings of Trees

Here it is!
I completed it yesterday.


I also completed this multicolored tree yesterday:


I am pleased with both drawings.

a new drawing.....

This is a new drawing, one that I created a few days ago.
The base of the tree is broader than my other trees.
Perhaps I would like to pay more attention to the roots of trees, in the future.

my painting called "Cyclops Tree"

This is my newest painting, that I completed tonight.

I was concerned about its asymmetry and perhaps being out of balance.
After mulling it over, I've decided that it works.

Drawing of Bare Tree

This is a small-sized drawing of a bare tree that I completed tonight. This drawing is comprised of 3 colors which are brown, black and purple. There is more brown in this drawing than any of the other colors.
This is a graceful and lonely tree.

Two Tree Paintings ... Turquoise Blue

I created these two small-sized paintings tonight!
I was into a turquoise blue palette.
Can you tell?
*smiles*

So, I tried to appreciate Palm Trees

I spent 3 days in Florida and viewed many varieties of palm trees.

I enjoyed viewing quite a few of them. The bark of these trees varies and is rather interesting. Also, I found the leaves or fronds of these trees to be attractive, as well.

Somehow, the shapes of Palm trees are not nearly as interesting to me, as the trees in the Northeast part of the U.S.A.

I really went out of my way to try and appreciate Palm and Coconut trees. My efforts were to no avail.
Ha!

first drawing for 2008

This is my first completed work of art for 2008!
I started this drawing several months ago and decided to complete it.

It's a tree that seems to have spiders living within it.

I love bare trees......

I have always preferred the beauty of leafless trees. It is at this time that one can fully appreciate the shape of the tree's trunk and network of branches!

So many trees have exquisite shapes.

I could spend hours on flickr admiring photographs of leafless trees.
