Trees - Outback Gum Tree Leaves by Starry Night Abstract textured impasto

I am really enjoying painting these series as very relaxing to paint like my pebbles series. Inspired by living in the Adelaide Hills and my outback Australian adventures. This version was inspired by the outback night sky full of stars and a dreamy imagination. Trees were my first subject when I started out painting and still are a strong subject today. This style of artwork is also inspired by lino art, the simple outline of subjects but still detailed and eye catching. The background has a light texture of black, blues, deep blues, sky blues, turquoise, green, pinks, oranges, white and metallic golds.

Living in the foothills, her enthusiasm for painting is inspired by her own backyard and a desire to bring the “outside, inside,” while complementing her modern lifestyle.
