Tree Lines

“Tree Lines” is a 42″ x 60″ is a mixed media work with acrylic paint and handmade paper. It is framed in a simple stained lattice. This imaginary landscape came from the idea of dripping painting on a canvas. By layering the lines and using contrast in the leaves, a sense of depth was achieved, much like looking into a grove of trees. The analogous colors of green and yellow help to unify the piece and the green fallen leaves echo their green above. The images of larger leaves in the background are the result of first collaging leaf-shaped handmade paper to the original surface and then painting over it. That way the background becomes one with the foreground.
