I was browsing a some of my old photos today, looking for themes, ideas, or a small spark, and I came across some of my Skeleton Tree photos. There are lots of stories attached to these photos, and the place where the tree stood, and a deep attachment to a season or two of my life.
I’ve never painted the tree before, but I have used the photos in image transfers for mixed media, and it’s such a great tree, or it was, it’s not there any more, and neither am I, and there’s a story that connects both those things.
I used some of the paints I mixed the other day in that fun two-colour mixing exercise I did, and just played with the paints on a wood panel. Then I transferred the outline of my tree onto the board, and painted it, and filled out the details, with acrylic ink.
I’m looking forward to seeing where it goes next, which may or may not be something that happens tomorrow, we’ll see.
Til the mron,
