My favourite tree 2

My favourite tree 2

This is the same favourite tree that I already have a photo of but this time I actually stopped the car to take this photo!

I not only find this tree fascinating but in a way, quite intimidating due to it’s awesome size, age and mystery. With this treatment, I have endeavoured to capture some of the age, mystery and sometimes darkness of this old tree.

My favourite tree 2 belongs to the following groups:

Moody, Dark, Evocative (no nudes) Available for sale as

Greeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints and Framed Prints

  • Karen Cook

    Karen Cook

    Brilliant Basia!! Is it a texture you’ve layered over the top or another method in Photoshop?

  • Basia McAuley replied

    Hi Karen, thanks and glad you like it! It’s all been done with layering through PS

  • Karen Cook

    Karen Cook

    Do you know of any good places to pick up some new textures? I seem to be reusing the same old ones over and over again!!

  • slickjesus

    I love that the wall mimics the age of the tree. Somehow both show their age and reflect each others age in turn.

  • Basia McAuley replied

    Thank you so much slickjesus.

    Hi Basia. There is so much great art on RB I’ve had a hard time initiating my favourites list. ‘My Favourite Tree 2’ made it really easy. Love what you’ve done.

  • Stronsy

    Stronsy

    Basia,
    Yes, I just had to visit and have a look after your wonderful comments about my ‘Ice Blue’.

    This tree – this tree is just a WOW. I love the treatment you have applied, like a cross between an etching and the backing of a mirror peeling off.
    Although unable to guage the actual size, your words provide the added imagery and that description does the picture great justice and I’m ‘favoriting’ it.

    As they say after the performers have left the stage – More, More, More!

    Stronsy – Here to please… Pleased to be here!

  • Basia McAuley replied

    Thank you so much for checking out my stuff, your great comment, fave’ing this image AND adding me to your watchlist!! THANK YOU!!!!! :o)

    I love your editing with this one, that tree has a striking shape. It caught my eye when I saw it in the tree challenge!

  • Paul Grinzi

    Paul Grinzi

    What a great image – and I missed it on the home page, apparently twice!
    As a bonsai gardener – I love the ‘aged’ processing you’ve applied to this image – giving it a timeless feel.

  • Basia McAuley replied

    Thank you Paul! This tree is sooooo huge but it does look like a bonsai! I love bonsai’s but the only one I had I unfortunately killed… I don’t know why since I’m usually a green thumb.. Oh well,, will have to try again!

  • Paul Grinzi

    Paul Grinzi

    Ahhh, bonsai: they’re like babies – wonderful to watch and grow but fragile and delicate (and get dehydrated easily!)

  • Basia McAuley replied

    I’ll have to keep that in mind for next time I attempt to keep one! :o)
