The setting in this painting is part real and part imagination. Believe it or not, I am only just now realizing that this is a trend in my work, to paint partly what's there and not the whole scene. Until now, I've excused it by saying that I only paint what I see.....but maybe it would be more accurate to say that while my paintings are based in reality, there is a healthy dose of imagination thrown in....which pretty much sums up the way I live.
This is a real live tree here in Houston and I love it. This is what it would look like if it were in a natural setting, which it
is, just not this natural setting, which isn't entirely true. It does
look like this. But because of its surroundings, it also looks like something else entirely considering that some major identifiers as to its location have been purposefully omitted.
It's 30" x 30" oil on linen.
