This one has a slightly chequered history in that it was originally conceived with a Japanese Torii gate in the background which I then had second thoughts about. But after posting the first stage on Instagram I got some feedback from a couple of people that I should indeed put the Torii in and also to make it foggy which the first stage kind of suggested. I thought about this and decided to go along with these suggestions. I wanted to keep it pretty unsaturated in colour but still to base it on a blue/orange colour complementary. This will probably be my last tree paintiing for a while... but who knows I might change my mind.

There is a short step-by-step progress through this painting in previous posts on this blog.
