It's painted on a 16" X 16" birch panel and the sides are painted black. I intend to leave it unframed for the moment: it looks good that way!
I hope that you like this painting. My objectives with this painting were to create interesting textures and to suggest some movement in the branches. I think that it's a serene, happy painting...thus the title:-) I am falling in love with mixed media and the freedom it gives me,
On the marketing side of my work, I have some great news: my hand painted jewelry on watercolor paper is currently available at the Boutique Gallery of the Ottawa School of Art in downtown Ottawa. They will also be displaying some of my smaller mixed media and watercolors with an Ottawa or Canadian theme. Do drop in if you are in the area - it's a great little gallery!
Love the painting - and excited for you - that jewelry is so innovative and lovely - congrats!

DeleteThis is a lovely piece, Christiane, it does feel very cheerful- and congrats on having your work in a gallery for sale.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Pat. I am very pleased to have such a great venue to sell my jewelry. The location of this gallery is perfect: a two-minute walk from the Parliament building and most of the downtown Ottawa tourist attractions.
DeleteI really like this piece - it has a fun energy and I like the texture :) Congrats on having a gallery show your watercolor jewelry!!
ReplyDeleteHi, Rhonda. I am glad that you like my tree ( my first tree, I think:-) I did have fun creating it and maybe that shows in the results:-) I am glad to be able to show my jewelry "every day" and not just at shows.Hopefully people will notice it...

DeleteWhat an interesting piece of work Christiane and I love the title - a problem I always seem to have thinking up. Thanks for your support with my own blog posts and recent 'abstract realism'.
ReplyDeleteThe title came a little at a time: a weeping tree; a serene painting =happy; the movement = dance:-)
