Coral Tree paintings
The coral tree is a beautiful tropical plant with brilliant red flowers. The first painting was completed at the beginning of Spring in Manilva, Andalucia. Although this painting has a bright blue sky it was actually a sunny but very cold morning. I was inspired by the twisted greyish mass of branches and did not initially notice the bright red flowers emerging at the base. The painting will feature in the Regeneration exhibition at Hansard Studio Gallery in London in December 2023. A few weeks I later returned to the same place and painted the second piece when the tree was in bloom.
