It is hard to believe that it was only a short 3 1/2 years ago that I decided to start shifting my craft business to more of an art business. This watercolor “folk art tree” is one of the first “real” pieces that I did. Because of that I have adopted it as my logo of sorts. I think it is interesting that while my style has evolved some, and I have shifted to primarily mixed media, there are certain features, of my trees especially, that have remained.
Layers of paint and paper on the canvas first…
Then adding the trees…
The carving stamps to create the leaves and blossoms…
I enjoy putting prints of these pieces in old window panes… always a hit!
I am still loving trees and keep coming back to them from time to time!
