My Blossom Trees are one of my most special pieces of artworks and back breaking. Inspired by living in the hills that are full of cherry, almond and ornamental blossom trees. Also with my own small orchard of stone fruits the garden comes alive in spring in pink and white blossoms. When they fall to the ground they remind me of snow. This painting is very heavily textured, the background is a gradient of golds to off whites with silver and gold metallic specks. Each blossom flower is applied individually in a thick texture. A range of pinks and whites creates each flower. It has a few coats of gloss varnish to make the colours saturate and protect.
