Because my sister asked… Here I am in the process of painting ‘wattles and no animals’. It seemed like a challenge but of course I am still adding figures to these tree scapes as there is that lovely connection. I wanted the wild feel of wattles on river banks and bush settings. They have a magnificent freedom unlike the tamed backyard versions. Still more to go to add some more yellows, details and the abundance of flowers. The trick is to keep the freedom of what I have and not take it down… I had a photo I’d taken awhile ago with a Wattle with the flowers caressing the earth… I love the wild freedom of these trees in nature. My photo had a path but it was straight…still more to do but loving the simplicity and freedom of loose brush marks, stencilled circles and spray paint. A new way to explore trees and that beautiful connection…that sense of opposites with the wild flowing freedom that is flow and grounded calm. I want that beautiful energy that I feel as I explore trees and there are unique personalities. The joy is in stepping into the magic of these imagined landscapes and the tree guardians that live there. When did you last sit under a tree and relax and sink into the moment? . . . . . . . #artinprocess#wattletree#accacia #treelandscape#treepainting#wattlepaintiwattletreepainting#blueandyellow#tranquilityoftrees#fortheliveofnature#treeguardians#wildsoulcreativity#wildfreenature#magicoftrees#abstracttreelandscape#imaginedlandscape (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTMOUvgnds7/?utm_medium=tumblr
