The Bendy Tree Red water lily Painted from a study done

Painted from a study done whilst hiking the TMB in the European Alps

she carries both serenity and resilience

reddish-brown terrain dominates the foreground

I have enjoyed her live performances many times

The light is fading but the reflections are still bright on the water

The Bendy Tree Red water lily Painted from a study doneInspiration I have a white gumtree in my backyard up against a fence, that deserved to be in a landscape . It is so beautiful. When I stand underneath it, it towers over me so much it does seem bent. It all went from there to a huge canvas that is almost as tall as me!! I adore landscapes but like to "bend" the truth a bit and make them slightly quirky.
