Thanks Tammy and hey yeah I like that, a “playful tree” very cool.

Love it. Beautiful rythm in the lines and swirls, lovely movement. (I totally relate to your need to create no matter what). Gorgeous tree.

this reminds me of Brett Whitley

i hate you! but only coz ur better then me, i am a very ljealous person

this is amazing i can’t believe this is your first painting of a tree, you should limit your options more often

This is great work Carrie!

Very nicely done

I just wanted to say a special “Thank You” for the purchase of this as a canvas print! Thank you for supporting me and the arts!

I can’t work out verbally why this captures my attention so much…it just does… to me its one of the most spell binding pieces I have seen on redbubble. Thank you for sharing.

I really like this. I enjoy the simplicity and the beauty of it. Very nicely done!

i absolutely loovvveeee this! the small details are wonderful in simple black paint. black and whites are simply the best i say*

Thank you everyone for your comments, support and the purchases of this work; I really appreciate it!!!! ;)

Stunning Carrie, very stunning!

Gorgeous painting-love this….

This is a funky tree, Carrie!
I like the spattering on the trunk!
Are you sure there’s no charcoal, there?
Great stuff!

Beautiful! I love this!!

Thanks everyone for your kind comments and support!

interesting… well done.

I really love this and i know what it is like to face adversity and hardship. Your art shines please keep it flowing.

Cool tree indeed.

Thanks everybody!!! I really appreciate hearing from each of you. ;)

Also….”Thanks” for the purchases of this work!!!! :) :) :)

Trees are always a subject that draws me, whether in photographs or illustrations, and yours called to me! I really love it!

Oh Carrie, this is magic! I love trees and yours is amazing! Always a fan…

Spectacular piece of work. Instant Favorite. I love the title, for me it brings to mind thoughts of life, creativity, inspiration and possibilities, all of which I feel are expressed wonderfully here.

Simple can be good. For years all I had were lead pencils and the leftover pages of my daughters’ school books.
Wonderful result despite your limited resources

Carrie, many of my drawings are packed away until I get the spare room sorted, one day when I have time not taken up with RB or boring responsibilities. ha ha

I can see why this got into the exhibition in Melbourne. Lovely work!

Oh Carrie, one I have missed! Excellent work!

congrats!
i love it

muahahahhaha!

It reminds me of something out of a Tim Burton film
