Here we go! This painting is my long standing favorite. I think it originated around 2009 or so and came after I had started getting into abstract backgrounds. The reason this one sticks out to me is that it represents the first time I went beyond a strict abstract background and found a love for stark contrast.
I can't recall what spawned the idea of these white trees. Some people comment that they look dead and others say they remind them of winter. Personally, I never really saw these as trees at all, but more so as human veins. However, everyone said they looked like trees so I decided to go with that as I tend to create art for the viewer....you decide the meaning of the imagery!
This painting has now spawned an entire series of paintings over the past few years...and the series continues to grow. Honestly, doing these abstract backgrounds with a starkly contrasted subject is my favorite thing to paint. If you like this type of art and want a specific color scheme for your home feel free to let me know. I would paint this type of picture all day everyday :)
I hope you have enjoyed "Trees I." I plan to bring all of the other tree paintings to the blog in due time. Remember that all of the paintings on the blog and the FACEBOOK PAGE are for sale!
