The Painted Tree By Alison Jardine
The artwork I chose is called, "The Painted Tree," by Alison Jardine. Alison used oils to create the artwork on canvas in 2010. The picture is a light and dark brown tree with several large branches. Surrounding the tree is rectangular shapes of different bright colors. These colors do not seem to have a pattern, but the do overlap the tree at times.

So, the tree is farther away and the rectangles are closer to the observer. Also, the element of color is used. The colors around the tree are all very bright reds, yellows, blues, greens. The use

    I have adopted the use of intense colour in my own piece above. All the colours that were used for the path were mixed to create the brown for the trees and for some of the speckles that were flicked over the painting. I have also merged areas and blocks of colour together to build the sense of haziness. Furthermore, to create the sense of mistiness, I picked out some of the palest colours from the original image, which were purple and yellow. I then lightly washed these colours with a damp sponge behind the trees to achieve this look. The flicked speckles were added to the painting to help accomplish this look.…

    Leaving The Black Walnut Tree By Mary Oliver

    Mary Oliver starts the poem by clarifying details about the conflict that has been troubling her and her mother. They are having financial issues, and the only way they can lessen their burden is if they sell the black walnut tree to the lumberman. However, the black walnut tree symbolizes so much more than a tree to Oliver and her mother; she doesn’t give much of an explanation about what the tree symbolizes, but we know that its roots go deep into their family history. At the end, they stay loyal to their ancestors and end up leaving the tree. Oliver uses figurative language and other literary devices such as imagery, symbolism, and diction.…

    Some of these archetypes that the painting includes are a powerful vibrant sky, big mountains in the background, large unique trees in foreground, and water with a welcoming feel. I created a darker feel for this painting by leaving the trees without leaves, saturating the sky with dark blues, and making a darker foreground grass with some highlights. Along with the…

    The second art piece that I looked at was believed to be created by Qu Ding this hand scroll was created on silk with ink and pale colors during the 11th century of the North Song Dynasty. The hand scroll was created during a period when the images are meant to depict creation. Viewing the picture you connect with the nature as if present in the drawing, experiencing the textures that are created by the strokes and shadows that are created by the ink and pale colors used by the artist on the hand scroll. Possibly belonging to a collection this hand scroll creates balance while symbolizing an escape from life and into the world.…
