This is an oak tree from up in the mountains and is part of an old forest, but I prefered to paint it standing on it's own. The trees cling to the side of the hill, spreading and twisting their roots and the footpath winds around and between the trees.
On this particular walk we went through an ancient grove of giant hollies, very dark and spooky and just the place to go looking for faeries and little people. (Yes I know my imagination's running away with me....again!)

It is lovely, Cathy. I like how you play the greens against the purples, and I LOVE the tree shape.

Really gorgeous...old trees have such amazing character, and you've captured it beautifully!
Great imagery...and a beautiful painting! You make it look easy (and I know watercolor is not)!
Beautiful! I can see how fairies or elves or other wee peoples would love to hide around the oak roots here.
Lovely work Cathy
The colors and the play of light on the trunk are perfect!
This is just gorgeous! I especially like the shadows of the branches falling over the roots. Perfect!
Beautiful! Looks like just the spot for a picnic!
A lovely watercolour ..... and I would be looking for little people too!!
Beautiful! It doesn't seem to be a painting you have been working on for a long time, as it appears so fresh and with a pleasant transparency! I would have looked for "faeries and little people" just like you in such an incredible grove!
This looks awesome Cathy! I love it =)
This is a fantastic watercolour Cathy. great work!
Just catching up - another lovely tree painting - you have some wonderfully gnarled specimens there on your island!
