Very moving work Gini, sad that someone did that….. Someone else had an image of the ‘replacement’ on here, but I can’t recall who or where, sorry (a photograph).... Wonderful depiction here! :)

very expressive!!!
Virginia McGowan replied

I used a canvas with a lot of old paintings on it! so it’s almost a metre thick [well I exaggerate a bit ….LOL] with paint now I used thickening gel … to sort of sculpture , only for my own fun but I usually paint only for me anyway! just to see what things will look like then paint over them later…. I only buy paint, not food you see !! hehehe

thanks Deb some silly so and so poisoned it ! don’t think they ever will work out why!! I saw it way back in 1968 and it was gorgeous actually lots of ghost gums around there, they are magnificent ..

Excellent. Very well done.
Virginia McGowan replied

thanks Byron it doesn’t really show the impasto paint laind on with a knife. I only painted it for my own entertainment not for political purposes more too as a tree lover I can’t bear the thought of people poisoning trees. they do it a lot with the mangroves too atm if their view is being blocked ….
