Growth Painting

This giant fig tree grows in the rainforest in the Gold Coast hinterland, specifically on Mount Tamborine on the way to Witches Falls. I came across it on a bushwalk with my husband and was inspired to paint it which is a bit of a departure from my usual florals. To me the twisted and turning root structures represent persistent life. When we can't grow in the direction we want we have to find another way which isn't always the easiest. This is painted in oils on an unbleached linen canvas. I felt the natural colour of the canvas added to the theme of the painting and left some parts of the canvas in fore and backgrounds unpainted. My brushstrokes were very free and flowing. The sunlight through the canopy onto the gnarled old wood has created blue toned highlights. Ready to hang.
