Ghost Gum Trees by Opal Night Skies textured impasto landscape

This painting is a real feature piece, the colours are electric. This painting is inspired by my love for nature and trees. Living in the foothills, I walk daily in our national park surrounded by these magic trees, which are rendered here with intense, textured impasto that brings their form to life. The artwork features a vibrant palette of metallic blues, turquoise, green blues, pinks, black, whites, metallic golds, and deep blues, capturing the ethereal beauty of the Australian bush. Painted around the edges ready to hang. These paintings always look better in real life.
