This week's theme for Creative Tuesday over at Mr.Toast's blog is "trees".
"A Love-ly Tree" was painted with acrylics and prismacolor pencils on black gesso. It is art and a frame all in one... It was painted on museum quality mat board and the painting continues onto the wood frame. I am having such fun painting on different surfaces!
(This original painting is available here sold.)
That IS a lovely tree. I like the way you painted the frame right along with it!
ReplyDeleteI love these paintings you are doing with the frame included..so unique and such fun :) LOVE-LY tree indeed xx
ReplyDeleteI agree Kristen...it is very lovely. I love that the leaves are hearts and it looks really nice the way it continues into the frame! Beautiful! :-)
ReplyDeleteLOVEly whimsical tree! Great take on the theme Kristin. hearts even in the stones.
ReplyDeleteKristin, your drawings, paintings and illustrations never fail to make me smile. I think it's your strong sense of color. This one makes me think it belongs in the Queen of Hearts' garden, along with her roses.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely, I love the frame being part of the picture. The tree has so much depth to it and looks 3D. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat painting....are they coffee beans or chocolate beans at the bottom?....
ReplyDeleteI like the way you've split the frame into earth and sky, too.
ReplyDeleteHeart trees!!!!! I love this!! <3 - very beautiful kristin, I love that you painted it on the frame, too! xoxo

ReplyDeleteI love how you painted on the frame too and what a wonderful painting it is. LOVE the heart leaves with the heart flowers. I've never seen heart leaves trees before depicted as such. This is really great, Kristin. It would look great and brighten up any corner you put it in. TY so much.
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea,, I love this,, beautiful,, the frame and canvas blend as one,, cool.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute tree! Painting is definitely a talent I don't have, but wish I did :) You've done a lovely job! Thanks for the blog visit.
ReplyDeleteThis tree is so pretty! I love how the leaves are hearts, taking you a moment to realize the next level of the illo. That's one of my favorite thing about drawing trees-- the leaves, and the grain of the wood, can be drawn in ways to have hidden designs, shapes, faces, or what have you. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI think the way you incorporated the frame was a fantastic idea. Just lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove this tree! Your style is so wonderful and happy.Happy PPF. I liked your swatches too!.
