Spooky Tree

SPOOKY TREE Acrylic on Canvas | 46" × 60" | 2018

It has been here longer than everything else. It will be here after everything else. It knows this.

Spooky Tree is a painting of a moss-draped ancient — a conifer of extraordinary age and presence, its branches weighted with electric green moss that hangs and drapes and reaches in every direction with the unhurried extravagance of something that has never once been in a hurry and never intends to start. The trunk rises from a ground of deep ferns and forest shadow, dark and massive, the kind of tree that has its own weather system and its own sense of time.

The moss is the painting. Acid green, almost luminous, painted with the kind of sustained, devoted attention that transforms botanical observation into something close to reverence. Against the deep blue-green of the forest behind and the ferns below, it glows with an intensity that is simultaneously completely natural and completely magical — the particular quality of old-growth forest light that makes you feel you have stumbled into somewhere that was never meant to be found.

Behind the tree, flashes of pink and orange break through the forest dark — the outside world, the bright world, glimpsed through the canopy and already receding. You are in here now. With the tree. On its terms.

Spooky Tree is a significant landscape work — large, immersive and painted with the technical confidence of an artist who has spent real time in real forests and understands that the most extraordinary things in the natural world don't need to be dramatised. They just need to be looked at properly.
