Summer
Abstract trees collaged and acrylic painted on canvas board.
Using strips torn from a vintage map to represent the trunks of trees, this painting drips and splatters acrylic paint to build the tree foliage.
Added texture and layers build a feast for the eyes and celebrates the senses of Summer trees.
Lines of poem at bottom by William Henry Davies, "When on a Summer's Morn", on tissue and collaged. Poem lines read:
When on a summer's morn I wake,
And open my two eyes,
Out to the clear, born-singing rills
My bird-like spirit flies.
