The majority of this work especially the body of the tree was painted with a palette knife. This painting has a strong textural quality due to the thick paint and knife strokes
I was listening to blues and jazz music and this landscape is what surfaced. The music didn't make me feel melancholy but you knew the singer was digging deep from a soulful place... I guess you can say trees, music, and art carry me to a special place. Today was just good day to paint.

Tomorrow is the first Friday of the month and it's a great time for a virtual art walk on Etsy. The following are some of my favorite art teams and their links:

I really like how you use purple in your landscapes and skies, Jo Ann. Great compliment with the orange-yellow of the tree.
ReplyDeleteYou might have missed it, but I actually featured one of your paintings (with said purple) in a treasury a few days ago :).
Thank you for your input and yes I did see your beautiful treasury. Thank you for including me.
