Two dead trees - a monochromatic watercolour

 

In my previous post I have written about these two dead trees, that we saw them last winter in Voornes Duin, a beautiful Nature Reserve at our coastline and that I intended to make more than one work inspired by the sight of these trees.

Here is the watercolour, a monochromatic painting using only Sepia on a panorama sized paper to show more of the left tree than is possible on a 'normal' size paper.

This time I have only painted the dune valley the trees were in and the trees themselves. There is no background for the reason that I wanted to focus on the trees this time. The ground they are standing on and resting on is important to understand what I have been painting.

This is not the last work inspired by these two dead trees. I intend to experiment a bit with colours, just see my next post.

The information about the materials I have used, the size and availability of this work and - if you are interested in  my original artworks - my contact information can all be found in my Tumblr blog.
