Travelling Slowly



I seem to have travelled slowly into this piece. 
 
I wanted to create it, but wasn't sure what it would be 
 I knew I wanted trees at the base but that is all that I knew.     

It has many layers of paint on it, and there was a number of times when I thought it was finished. 

It is finished now, and I added a final coat of paste wax.
 
 
It measures about 6x8 inches - so a bit bigger than my previous creation of this type - but not big.
 I am still gathering courage to try big.

  3. i think you can build on this design into a bigger canvas, it'd be smashing, i think. on this format your complete work is stunning, yes, the sides! clever. and ik like the details of the black dabs. perfect mood image.

    i understand hesitation too. what a challenge!
    see you on the weekend!

  4. Hello Kim, this is truyl stunning, I LOVE it, absolutely gorgeous! Its so full of depth and the colors are wonderful and I really wonder how you did it? I was thinking about doing a piece like this with trees and had no idea how to manage it and now that I see your piece I know I can forget it - yours is perfect and it doesn't show at all that the size was any difficult for you.
    Sigh, its so wonderful.

    You can get larger inch by inch
    and not jump straight into a 60"x72"! ;)

  7. You are so talented that even though it is your soul poured into your art it feels like my soul is there too. I have stayed up way too late pouring over your blog and you can bet I will have some sweet dreams because your art has taken away every bit of the day's tension from this old body.
