All finished and I think for my first effort at set design it isn’t bad at all. Today I had to finish the shop window and it’s contents and the window above the door.
I’ve started working on the tree project again. Not sure about it yet though, I’m happy with the pattern but I think the image might be to literal, maybe I should only use part of a tree so it’s not as recognisable. I’m trying to show how beautiful trees are. They are beautiful anyway without me painting them, but they’re taken for granted and I want to show something that we don’t notice so you stop and look.
I don’t know what it is about trees that I love so much. They make me feel secure, except for at night and I enjoy they’re almost silence. The kissing tree is my favourite tree and I intend to base a project on it sometime. It overhangs a pavement that I walked down as a child, as a girlfriend, wife and mother and I often pause under it’s branches and think of different times of my life. I worry that it will be cut down soon because it’s leaning into the pathway.
