This tree is on fire
Or something. Last week I had that red (burnt sienna) diagonal thing going which I did not like so I added burnt sienna everywhere but that didn't cut it. Then I remembered that I was painting on yupo so I just washed it away and went with that swirly burnt sienna which gave it a drama that I like.

I guess I don’t understand the structure of this tree. I have several in my neighborhood and none of them have that big knot in the branches. It bothered me along with the branches becoming suddenly smaller without the 1:2 ratio I’m used to seeing.
ReplyDeleteDidn't mean for it to be a realistic portrayal.
DeleteThere's one down the street from me that has a big knot at the top of the trunk like this. It also has a flurry of thin twigs growing out of it all around. I've often been curious as to why that happened (not to mention that at certain angles, there appears to be some kind of face). On yours, I really like the bark of the tree and the texture of the background. Gotta love that Yupo!
ReplyDeleteI like the blue on the trunk. Maybe there should be some blue in the sky? Or more little branches? Or more burnt sienna? Or green? It need something else imo…
