Description I did this last year in a very unusual way (for me)
I started without any idea with an abstract background and then laid the piece "to rest" for a few days. Then I looked at it and started painting, what came into my mind (and what I thought would fit to the background).

acrylics with brushes on handmade paper in about 7 hours (ha - a "quickie" for me! )

Very pretty. I got to ask though, is this related to any of Lovecraft's stories? I found this through but I'm not familiar with a story featuring this tree.

Thanks!
Well, it's not related to any story, just inspired by the mood of his stories and some of the illustrations of his anthologies from the 80s.

a tree made up from the remains of various creatures.

it certainly is foreboding, including the fact it is in a swampy region.

it also is well camoflouged to look like the parts blend into an actual plant.

the other possible 'trees' in the distance are a nice touch.

I like this painting quite a lot. It really looks like this tree has a mind of it's own. The (almost) monochromatic color scheme and out of focus background are very effective. A great work.
