Blue Blossoms (2009)

Size: 80cm W x 60cm H

Flowering trees are a vibrant example of the patterns replicated in nature within the chaotic-seeming branches. The closer one looks, the more the patterns appear in every detail – the branches, the flowers, the bark. This is a melancholy day reflected by the colour of the sky and the alignment of the branches. Blue flowers on drooping branches are tinged with sadness.The structural representation of my tree also embodies the principals of bonsai – an idealized recreation of nature.

This acrylic painting is constructed of coloured dots approximately 1mm in diameter.
