Weibern

Subtle shades of blue and grey create a tranquil backdrop to this painting, which was inspired by the pattern of lichen growing over the trunk of a tree I saw in Weibern, Austria. Areas of pastel paint, created with lively brushstrokes, add a sense of movement and organic growth. Delicate lines intersect the composition, suggesting connectivity, while pops of red and teal provide a vibrant contrast to the cool palette. The subtle layering and variety of textures add depth to the artwork.
