Gum leaves ethereal

hahaha I wondered that too an phthalo I used to order on line and my spell check used to kick up a stink!

anyhooooo love the work I haven’t tried to stretch paper on a board I have known people to stretch on stretcher bars ..

stunning work, Marion !!!

You can feel the soft whisper of a breeze, its really beautiful!

Marion, you know how i feel about gum leaves having painted a few works in my series called Beneath Blue Mountain Gums this is gorgeous…love the thalo…and the spelling you have utilised…LOL
I have to agree with CDrewHughes above, about the “soft whisper of a breeze”

Beautiful work love the ethereal quality absolutely stunning ( Thankyou!!)

Just extraordinary. Such wonderful depth, and a lovely whimsy flight in the overlay. Very beautiful colors, and inviting, I can imagine walking into it and lifting branches back as I go.

MARION.. THIS IS THRILLING WORK..

This is stunning. I love the fluidity of the branch and leaves – you can almost feel the breeze brush through the leaves.

Very beautiful painting ..luv it ..so delicate & simple!!

This is lovely, Marion! The foreground leaves are so graceful – and then I discovered the faint outlines of the trees silhouetted in the background! This painting will add a wonderfully soothing feel to whatever room it will be placed! – Pat

Truly a lovely,delicate artwork.

So wonderfully delicate -aptly named and quite beautiful work.

Awesome work !

This is so beautiful.

Very nice, I read one of your comments and you might want to try this. When I was still actually painting, not computer, I bought these cheap stretch gessoed canvases. I would stretch the wet paper by wrapping it and staplling it to the back. It would stretch tight as a drum, but still had some flex and would hold moisture longer. An old commercial art trick.

Very gentle, magnetic work. My instant favorite!

Marion, this is true magic.

how beautiful, the leaves are dancing against this dreamy background
