The Bendy Tree Red water lily Painted from a study done

Painted from a study done whilst hiking the TMB in the European Alps

When my Golden Retriever doesn’t have her “blankie” in her mouth

Five Fat Friars continues my exploration of mirrored landscapes

she carries both serenity and resilience

this time illuminated on a stage beneath the spotlight

The Bendy Tree Red water lily Painted from a study doneInspiration I have a white gumtree in my backyard up against a fence, that deserved to be in a landscape . It is so beautiful. When I stand underneath it, it towers over me so much it does seem bent. It all went from there to a huge canvas that is almost as tall as me!! I adore landscapes but like to "bend" the truth a bit and make them slightly quirky.
