Oil on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.
Signed on the front.
This is an earlier painting I did, reconnecting me with my passion to paint. A inspiration from a trip to Japan.
While standing at a well at a temple in Tokyo, this ancient tree provided shade for all. It was the magnificent root system that caught my eye. How long had this tree stood here for? How incredibly intricate and beautiful it was, staying strong and steadfast for probably centuries. This is quite a large piece and could sit as a feature on a wall.
I used a palette knife to build up the colour in the background.
