The Illuminated Tree One, Original Painting
This painting is called The Illuminated Tree xx and is painted in acrylic paint on a cradled birch wood panel. It is made by building up layer after layer of paint, richness, texture, colour and pattern. It is a unique one of a kind painting, but part of a series of nine.
Before I started work on this series I made some notes on how I wanted the paintings to feel and be, some broad intentions for the work. I wrote “joyful, exuberant, other worldly, jewel like and magical forest.”
I chose to create them in acrylic paint as I wanted to build up a complex paint surface and for each painting to have a hidden history which occasionally reveals itself.
As the paintings started to come together I thought of ancient wise trees, bedecked with shining lights. The wonder and awe of trees. This is when I started to think of them as a collection of illuminated trees, solid, stable and glowing with light and life.
This wood panel was hand prepared with three light coats of primer and then I finished the painting with varnish and wax so it has a lovely lustre and tactile surface. This painting is ready to hang as is, or for you to frame depending on preference.
This painting is signed on the back.
