this is the first painting that i've attempted to do a symetrical design. i have to say that there is something quite beautiful about symmetry; almost regal, actually. i particulary found this tree fun to paint. it's like my eyes get lost in it's design and keep trying to figure out where the line begins and ends. the owl is tony. he doesn't show up very well here, as in the actual painting. but he's quite cute, not scary as some people seem to think! although he is a little cross-eyed.

yay a lynnsy blog! you are by far one of my favorite artists. i look forward to seeing your collection of veritas in color and scrolling through your blog to be inspired!
thanks jayne, as you are by far my most favorite photographer!!!
This feels a bit like Moroccan art work. You see it alot on entrence ways and buildings. There is a certain mystic to it.
I also take this as a symbol of purifying. The molted red bricks at the base where impurities are burned away and the tree as a symbol of the resulting pure life in Christ.
