The Red Tree

The Red Tree by Lucinda Leveille is a large vibrant statement piece from the New Perspectives range of works.

The inspiration for the painting comes from a poem by Thomas Stearn :

The Red Tree (exerpt)
The red tree, tall in its superior elegance,
effortlessly glowing, radiant in the golden light
like a fiery phoenix rising from it's
sleek smokey ashes, reborn.
Leaves of scarlet and of blood moon,
young in mind and ferocious in spirit.
Rest delicately on the silver branches
of frail bodies, made ancient from time.

I just love the rich reds against the green/blues of the sky, set off by the orange/reds in the grasses in the foreground (the camera doesn't quite pick up that orange here), the serenity of the painting comes through the painting, you could simply sit and get lost in the depth and quiet.

If you love this piece but it doesn’t quite suit your space, I would be delighted to work with you to produce an artwork that will suit you and your home, I enjoy commissions and it’s always great to know that this is something uniquely yours. You can now email me directly, straight to my inbox and we can discuss what you would like.

The paintings are signed on the front with my name ‘Lucinda’ and painted round the edges, they also come with a Certificate of Authenticity. I only use Artist quality materials in the creation of my artwork .

The piece will arrive cocooned in bubble wrap and packed within a sturdy cardboard container, sometimes recycled ( I do like to recycle when I can!), any glass will be taped to help prevent breakage, I am still losing the war with the tape machine so the package may not be the prettiest on the outside but the contents will arrive safe and sound.
