Love the way you found the tree amongst the colors & gave it form & the way the wind ( dots ) seem to having a great denuding it & playing with it's leaves.
Beautiful movement in this piece!

Oooh. It's like magic with bursts and spurts of colour.

Hand made paper, hmm? How'd you manage that?

amyhooton In reply to 11thStreetKid [2007-08-02 10:14:57 +0000 UTC]

Well I bought it. But its still hand made, but by someone elses hand.

Your work is so beautiful- I can't always get my head around what it actually means, but it's full of life, and the colours are truly stunning. I love the tree-like figure in this...

Wonderful colour and free technique. (Much less ominous that the tree in Carnivale )

Thank you Anna. I had a really cool dream about this painting recently... I'm glad you like it! You are correct, lots of water on very absorbent paper- makes it lots of fun to work with.

AnnaKirsten In reply to amyhooton [2007-06-27 16:53:26 +0000 UTC]

It's a style of art that requires one to be bold. I've done pen and wash in the past too, where the wash comes first, and then as the various aspects of the picture appear in the blending, I have added in the details. Those sorts of pictures tend to grow as they develop and don't necessarily come from any preconceived idea! Haven't done anything like that for years now!

Really great, I can imagine it existing in reality (but of course, that reality may consist of purple grass, green sky and origami flowers).

It would be a fantastic reality.

At least would be great to have a picnic under that tree.
