Artist's Comments

This piece came about from a desire to continue the style of 'Tree Spirits' [link] and from :iconterepalomitas:'s gorgeous painting of a child at the foot of a tree [link] which stirred in me memories of a place I liked to go to sit and think...

*Edit*
:iconironhenry: ever on the ball pointed out my vignette was suffering, particularly at the top where the foliage ended without any soft gradations. Fixed now. Thanks Ben.

(Now available as a print!!) :)

Really nice work, love the atmosphere you've created.. I wouldn't mind seeing this in color, too.
:iconcrooty:
Just fantastic, Andy!
Are you going to make a series with these trees?

Thanks Crooty dear :)
I have a couple more tree-centric ideas bouncing around in my head at the moment, yes.

Thanks man. That means a lot coming from you. And yes, colour is on the cards - if not for this one, definitely the next :)

Oooo. That is awesome my friend!

I can see that you are going for a vignette thing, but its not really working, due to the uneven shape and lack of subtle gradation. I'd like to see the foliage extend to the top of the page OR have you do a true vignette in Photoshop.

But this is great Andy. I love it!!! Super job with the composition! That tree bark is so textural man.

Thanks, Ben. You're on the money as usual. Something about the framing is all wrong. I think I will go back and work in those subtle gradations as you suggest. Thankfully I have room to move on the original.
Thanks again :)
