Yesterday I had the last square of this painting to paint. I mixed my first color, but then the power went out and my computer went down and the lights went out, so I couldn’t finish it, but today everything was back to normal and I completed “Zion Tree”
The image is one that of a Cottonwood tree that I once saw on a visit to Zion National Park in the US. I had taken a photo of it and it had been one of my favorite images for years. I always thought that one day I would like to paint it and finally did. The skeleton of the tree standing against the massive sandstone rock cliff, was a slow paint, requiring a lot of color mixing. I started painting it in September and the 24” X 36” (60cm X 90cm) canvas took me 205 hours to paint.
