Margaret, I think your observation is perceptive: it's a sunny day, but these are deeply sad limbs (as painted; the real tree seems perfectly okay to me).
Lately, I've been using life drawing as a starting place for works that combine reality, imagination and experience.

Your trees are always so alive. Really like this perspective too.
ReplyDeleteDon't ask me why, but this seems like a very vital but sad tree. Is that a goofy thing to say?
ReplyDeleteThat's a goofy thing to say. But, writers are allowed that privilege.
ReplyDeleteLike your Ficus, PS.
Wonderful painting Jean. I love the brushwork on the trunks and the way you lead the viewer into it. It has a lot of depth.
ReplyDeleteThanks, all.
