A frequent object of study and affection for the artist, this abstract interpretation of a tree is wonderfully subtle and calming. A muted colour palette draws us closer, pulls us in, and provides us with a viewpoint the exposes the pulses of life within the core; and again, as is often the artist’s way, integrates our own experience and life-force with that of the natural world. Painted with oil paint on a deep 3.5cm stretched canvas - the painting wraps around the sides of the canvas allowing the painting to be hung directly without framing.
