Elies Dendro

The title is Greek for an olive tree as it's a painting of a very old olive tree on the island of Zakynthos in Greece although through the use of desaturated colour it looks more like England! When I thought it was finished a couple of days ago I kept looking at the very cold looking colour I had used and realised it was bugging me too much so I decided to give it a thin glaze of a green-blue to warm it up a bit. It now has more of a dreamlike quality to it which is better but I'm still not sure about this one, some work out others don't but then that's why I'm doing these paintings at the moment to try things out.
Oil on linen 16" x 12".
There is a short step-by-step progress through this painting in previous posts on this blog.
