During a Plein Air event I was busy with another scene when I turned and there it was... a fantastic tree with roots intertwined with each other, strong and twisted with so much character. Studying the tree I found myself so glad that I had turned and discovered it. It was a moment that I new that I had to paint this magnificent tree's roots. The foundation of this tree was complex. I decided mixed media would suit the tree as I paint the tissue prior to putting it on canvas and then allow the painted tissue to show through the layers. Also, the tissue itself adds to the texture of the piece. This aged tree deserves the respect and I wanted to give it that.
