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.

a drawing of a Pink Tree

I like to create trees using the color pink, amongst other colors.

Oddly enough, I used to hate the color pink. I used to think of it as being an ostentatious color worn by superficial people.
Now, I think it's a very cool color that exudes a feeling of cheerfulness.
:-)

And so, here is my pink tree that I created in 2006.
It is 6 x 4 inches.
I suppose I can easily say that I enjoy working on a small scale.

surrealistic Tree with Eyes in pink

Here is my newest surrealistic drawing of a tree.
Do you see the eyes within the tree?
*wink*

small Drawing of Greenish Tree

Here is my newest drawing of a tree. This is another very small drawing that measures 3.2 x 2.5 inches. I created it using archival pens on 100 lb. Strathmore paper.

New Brown Tree

My passion for creating trees has not waned at all.


Here is my newest rendition of a tree that is mostly brown.
It is a small sized drawing that measures 3.5 x 2.5 inches.

One of my favorite drawings of a tree

I do have quite a few favorites, but this one is quite special to me.

I like the rounded shape of this tree and the delicate branches that have a nice flow to them.
I also find this image to be rather hypnotic.

The title of this drawing is:
"Rounded Tree"

Ecstasy Tree

This drawing measures 8.5 x 5.5 inches.
I created it with archival pens on paper.

When I completed it I felt the emotion the tree conveys is that of ecstasy.
That is how it seemed to me a few days ago.
I will have to re-evaluate this.

But, the title was meaningful to me very soon after completion of this artwork and I will keep it as is.
:-)

Tree with Embryo Within

This is one of my favorite drawings of trees.
I find it very precious and will therefore place a high monetary value on it.

It is small, measuring 4.5 x 4 inches.
And, it does contain an embryo within it.

drawing of Lyrical Tree

I created this drawing while on vacation in Bar Harbor, Maine last week.

I think it has a lyrical quality about it and so I have entitled it:
"Mulitcolored Lyrical Tree."

I created this drawing on 130 lb. Daler Rowney paper and it measures 5.75 x 5 inches.

Expressionistic and Psychedelic Tree

This is my newest drawing of a tree and my most expressionistic and "free-est" to date!
Yes!
I am delighted about this stylistic departure!

This image is 6" x 7.5."

it's been too long since my last tree

It has been weeks since I created my last painting of a tree.

This is an awful state of affairs.

What is holding me back from painting?
I wish I knew.
But, perhaps it is simply a lack of inspiration?

*i remain clueless about this issue*

Green and Orange Tree

It has been quite awhile since I posted any artwork in this blog.

Shame on me.
:(
I must make more time for renditions of my beloved fantasy trees.

This painting was completely yesterday.
I like the sense of whimsy in this piece!

The Magenta in a Tree

This is my newest painting of a tree.
It is a very bold piece that measures 7" x 7."
I used the finest quality gouache and 300 lb. Saunders paper, to create this image.

Painting of an Imaginary Tree that is Blue, Purple and....

This is a newly completed painting that is small in size, as usual.
It measures 5" x 5."
It is very bold and colorful.

And, I am delighted to say, I started a new painting of a tree that is predominantly green in color.
I am very excited about how it is coming along.
:-)

Original miniature Drawing of Tree Landscape

This is a small-sized landscape with a surrealistic edge that was a bit of a challenge for me.

Soon the trees will not be bare!

I enjoy viewing bare trees because the shapes of the trunks and branches of trees are viewable.

After trees are in full leaf, the skeleton of the tree is covered and much of the tree's beauty is not apparent.

Drawing of a vibrant Red & Lyrical Tree

This is a painting in my ongoing series of fantasy trees. I created it using gouache on 300 lb. Fabriano paper and it measures 6" x 8."

Original Surrealistic drawing of Pinkish Tree

This is a surrealistic drawing of a tree.
It measures 6.5" x 8.5."

Turquoise Blue Fantasy Tree

This was an attempt to try painting with turquoise blue and red, which is a color combination that I enjoy viewing tremendously.
This painting is 6" x 8" and was created with gouache on archival paper.

Fantasy Tree Painting in shades of Pink & Purple

This is a new painting that I completed yesterday that is 6" x 4."
I like the energy it exudes.
