Black Tree

Dotty about flowers
I can't resist the view of a wild flower meadow, those beautiful colours swaying amongst the grasses in the breeze. Even the grass verges at the side of the roads can have a wonderful display of wild flowers in the summer months. These beautiful blooms of colour are the inspiration behind today's piece 'Black Tree'.

I spotted the lower half of the paper with masking fluid before applying light washes of colour over the paper. Once dry I built up lines in different hues of green to suggest the soft grasses.

I removed the masking fluid and painted in the different colours of the wild flowers using watercolours.


The final stage was to draw out the outline of the tree and then use black acrylic paint to block in the shape of the tree.

'Black Tree' -2017

Have a wonderful day!

Hi @opheliafu . I love this painting. I have taken the opportunity to create a music improvisation based on your beautiful painting, for there are things that I can only express through music rather than words. I hope you enjoy.

That is so beautiful, thank you very much for this kind thought of creativity!
My pleasure @opheliafu . Your art speaks to me and I really appreciate that. I tried to put my thoughts into sound. I am sure there will be more improvisations as this is my preferred means of expression :)
All the best my friend
