Tree Hug

wow amanda… you too hey!! lol…terrific, thanx so much! :)

dear Leilana, you are always so kind, really happy you like these colours, they are quite a bit different from the ones i use normally, so it was a bit experimental. I’m glad i still have the drawing if i ever want to change it :) x

haha..i must have been channelling you then Natsky :) ...thank you so much …. of course it would have to remind me of you…out there in the rainforest….in the cool greens…slipping on the moss and snuggling up to rocks and trees… RB’s own little tree hugger…and there is another one….Jan Landers… the biggest tree hugger of them all… you two would probably get along really nicely!! :) xxx

Hi Anne, and thank you for your lovely response. I happened to be at the pub listening to a band outdoors (my son’s drum teacher is in the band) and his gorgeous curly haired daughter (all of about 2 and a half years old) was trying to climb this huge, huge, huge pine tree… (we were outside on the grass) and it just sunk right into my head what a delightful painting that would be… so i have them to thank for the inspiration really… xoxox

thank you so very much Tania, so happy you like this, it’s a little different to what i usually do :) x

lol…thank you so much Jan… i did, i did know that you would love this, because you are the biggest tree hugger I’ve ever known in my whole life…. heheh… i must admit i was so looking forward to your response… and i got the biggest grin on my face when i read it!!! thank you again my friend :) so happy you liked it :)!!

aw, thank you so much Janis, yes it is very pthalo green… i do love it too, and i love the dark blue which i think is ultramarine or is it prussian, not too sure, i got another shade a while ago, which whilst it is blue is very close to black..i do love concentrated colour very much :)

aw, thank you so much Marilyn… i had hoped you would see it, being another nature girl!! very very kind of you, thank you for the fave…wow!! :) xx

aw, thank you very much Linda… i have yet to hug a tree myself…but i intend to… just so long as it doesn’t bite me (ants and spiders)..lol…i have this habit of getting spiders living in my ears… seriously… i try not to give them the idea i am a tree.. but they seem to figure i might be and like to give it a try…so far i have had a click beetle, a spider and a fly.. :)... lol

Barbara, thank you so much, you are very kind…and a big warm welcome to Red Bubble!! :)

wow, greatly appreciated Alexandra, thanx so much!! xx

thank you so much sweet Ana, it means a lot :) x

aw, thank you so much Sal and Maya and everyone….i don’t see the glow worms but if you can see them, that’s what they are!! lol

and so cute about Maya thinking that about her hair…cos she was saying how she’d like it in a bob you know, after Indo trip.. and how sweet Indi would look too with a bob… the white things are bobbles from the coat and shoes..but there is a greenish glow on the boots at the back, yes, I’d say they must be glow worms i just didn’t put them there….but it is a magic tree….so anything is possible :) xoxoxoxoxo

such a lovely response i want to thank you so much for taking a look and being so thoughtful…you notice all the little details and i love that…it makes me smile! My little niece Maya is absolutely sure this is a portrait of her…she makes me smile too :) (she’s 6!) xxx
