Tree button art'Naturally Two faced' original mixed media art

In a world where people are unkind to one another, a tree is many faces, but all of these in a kind way to the world. If people could be a little more like nature, we may find ourselves in a happier World. The process of this piece of artwork, started on a deep edge canvas, 120cm by 100cm.

I painted the forest background using acrylics a wide range of natural greens, yellows and black to create the depth to the forest. Once the painting was finished, I started to build up my next layer of the tree using buttons. Layers of buttons add depth to the art. Finally, the picture has been varnished for protection. Added depth can be captured at night under a UV light, the tree glows within the forest.
