The Tree of Life painted with acrylic and mixed media



This tree has so much character. Branches with a purpose. Tall. Bold. Sturdy. A Presence. A Tree of Life. (Genesis2:9 and 3:22-24).

 The Tree of Life has to be Imposing. It has a responsibility as do I, the artist. I didn't know where to begin.

 So, I started with a background of layered acrylic glazes and stencils. I thought some tree stencils might be appropriate.
