Sentinel Trees

10/3/2018

Another of my biggest sources of inspiration is the tree. I have recorded trees most places I have visited by photographing them; their shapes; the way the light hits them; the texture on their bark and most of all the way they dominate the skyline and seem to stand watch over everything else.
I do love autumnal colours and have explored those in my 'lollipop' series. However it is the winter tree that I love reproducing the best. 
The 'Sentinel' Series is all about the tree in winter. The lone indomitable figure in a scape laid bare. The first two artworks were a result of an artwork gone wrong! I cut up the naughty artwork and made two, then painted over the surface so only the texture was visible. That texture then dictated two new scapes.
Ever since art college I have based my enterprise on the procedure of research, development and progression. The third Sentinel artwork is the development. Using household paints, I have managed to harmonise the colour scheme in wintery tones. Stitch helps define the shapes and block off areas to be further explored by either collage or painted detail. I have acquired three black frames which will be ideal for the development pieces when finished and they will be exhibited at the 3 Harbour Fundraiser later this month.
