My inspiration for this picture was Autumn. I love the colours, all the rusts, browns, yellows, oranges, gold. I love the exhilarating feeling of walking on a sunny autumn day, with the wind in my hair and the leaves falling around me. Don’t we all love kicking leaves? Right now my garden is carpeted with leaves of all hues and shades and it is beautiful(if a little muddy) The other thing I love doing is looking at the patterns in the bark of a tree. Every tree is unique and the tree trunks of my tree collection demonstrate this perfectly.<\/p>\n

As with the other trees I have painted, I use a combination of techniques to encourage the ink to flow and move where I want it. Sometimes the ink just creates incredible, shapes and patterns\u00a0 I’m not expecting; the beautiful swirls and curls in this picture happened as the ink was drying. I love it when that happens (most of the time anyway)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
