My first painting for sale! - 'Trees of the Magi'

in art •  7 years ago  (edited)

I have been resting awhile, dear Steemit

But now it is time to introduce myself...

I am @scribes, affectionately known as "Mim." This is the first painting I have done in a long time. Not only that, but this is my first LARGE painting. I am used to smaller canvases and sketch-paper. Usually I do watercolor, but I decided to break free of my preconceptions and give acrylic another try.

Never have I painted such a large canvas before

With the little extra cash I earned, I was able to afford a sized 24" x 30" stretched canvas. And I was so surprised and delighted, that I did not even know what to paint! Stars? Landscape? It was daunting to envision how much paint this was going to take.

Many ideas crossed my mind

But, eventually I fell back to my trees. I have always loved to paint them, I tell myself. This time I will just do it in acrylic and see what happens. But, I knew I could count on them to make a unique presentation...

Trees have always been my favorite

If you look closely, the trees become people. A unique, flowing outline with hanging tendrils accents the trees in a way that contrasts. The pink tree and the pink sky draw attention two directions, again contrasting. And the soft, rolling hills contrast nicely with the billowy sky. I was attempting to re-create the atmosphere that exists when it's raining outside, but the sun is still shining...

...What do you think? I signed it Mim, because that is what my daughter calls me...

For sale in @robyneggs Peerhub

Already knee deep in a third painting, I will be keeping you abreast of my latest works. If you would like to purchase the original painting you can find the link HERE for $5000 STEEM or PayPal $.

The original does not have the @scribes logo, or the neon green overlay - those are used to protect my paintings' integrity - @robyneggs is kind enough to post it in their storefront for me until I have more time to set up my own.

Enjoy!

Be sure and follow @scribes for more paintings coming soon. Have a wonderful day and thank you for all the lovely content on my feed. Steemit is so inspiring!!
