Ascension captures one of my favourite scribbly gum trees in the forest near where I live. I love to walk in there, to feel the peace, the aliveness of nature, and be at one with it all. I love scribbly gums because of the lovely scribbly lines that are carved between the old and new bark by a moth grub. When the old bark falls off each year the lines are revealed. I particularly like this scribbly gum tree because of the kink it has in its trunk, it makes me ponder about what happened to make it grow that way, and how we are all shaped by our environment and things that happen to us in our life. I have kept the brushstrokes soft and loose, impressionistic, which give the painting a dreamy quality. It will add a sense of vibrancy, peace and wonder to your space. "Ascension" is ready to hang and is the perfect size to be hung on a narrow wall (eg hallway, or in between windows, or alongside a chair) and will being nature into your room (without the mosquitos!). I deeply care for our planet and I will donate a portion of this sale to planting trees in the tropics via Treesisters.org
