Sunset Arbutus Tree, Mayne Island, BC
This artwork is a vivid and textured depiction of a tree trunk and its lower branches. The tree's bark is painted in striking shades of deep orange and reddish hues, with patches where the bark has peeled away to reveal a lighter, almost beige under layer. The surface of the trunk and branches showcases a rugged, natural texture contrasted by the smoothness of the exposed inner wood. The composition emphasizes the organic curves and irregular forms of the tree, grounding it amid a rocky and forested environment. The overall effect combines bold colours and raw natural detail, creating a visually compelling study of nature's intricate surface.
