Key characteristics of the WillowTree: Intuitive, Calm, Empathetic
My impressionistic interpretation of the Willow is to show the calmness through its limbs, the burrows in the tree remind me of eyes that are observing what is going on. The long slender branches reaching down to the ground display empathy. The colours displayed in the bark are the inner intuition. My reference photos for this painting were from my visits and runs through Stanley Park at Lost Lagoon and at Ambelside Park pond.
The inspiration to paint trees and create a series came from my passion for nature and feeling that we are all connected. I was researching specific trees to paint and discovered the Druid Calendar and the 13 trees. My roots are celtic and felt this was meant to be. Each tree painting is created with my pallet of acrylic paint, brush, and acrylic pen using bold strokes to give the texture and movement conveying the unique characteristics of the specific tree.
