It would be a major fail on my part if the tree was recognisable as anything else. I made sure at least that the silhouette against the sky could not be mistaken. Some artistic license within the body of the tree but I was responding to the mad shapes that existed. I don’t know if I have crossed the line stylistically, I seem to have been pushing in this direction for some time so there is no going back. Next painting is from the garden but the subject contains so much information I needed a bigger board to paint on. Not sure if it is going to be dry enough to start tomorrow.
