Trees in art

[Michael h]

This is a picture of the top of a cypress on one of my sites, by artist Matilda Bevan

It is 3 X 4 METERS!! and done with a 6B pencil. (maybe more than one)

this pastel picture of an old stump is on my wall at home. done by a little known artist called Eric Hancock (known by me as grandad). He gave it two names;  "Shattered Bole" and "Guardian of Loughrigg Tarn"

Extraordinary and beautiful! Probably the artist had to cut a tree down afterwards for wood to replace the pencils.

What does it mean? I am from the school of 'if it's a nice thing in its own right, it doesn't need to mean anything else for it to be art'.

That's a lot of detail for what's barely bigger than A4. It's lovely to have full provenance and a personal connection with art.

Whoa! That says glasspaper. Is it really pastels on sandpaper?

What is a giclee print? The word giclee ("g-clay"), is derived from the French verb gicler meaning "to squirt or spray"...

Roger Dean...….Older members will probably recognise his work.
 
 

Hmmm. Almost have an ‘M C Escher’ vibe to them.

One of my favourite artists, Paul Signac "Sunset, Herblay", I was delighted to find an example of a tree painted by a Pointilist. Pointilism is creating a picture with dots of different coloured paint. The lighting in the gallery was rubbish, photo is not the best.
