Love the detailed “Little Red Tree” upon the low rising hill, in the Midst of the Pale abstraction of earth and sky. Very Solemn ;O)

hello melody
Shaun Tans work is fantastic,
I met him at a book thingy, and i got too flick through his art diary that he sketches his ideas on,
wonderful work (fantastic book)

There is so much going on under the surface – nice piece!

Nice balance between neutral calm and striking tree. Very organic feel to the painting.

I love this work too, Melodious:-)

wonderful!

speechless… does a shepard become a king

congratulations on the top ten placing in the book challenge! this is a beautiful work and soo deserves it!

i pay my homage to life, you and jesus

love you Mel!!

Isn’t Shaun Tan great. I used to work at Macmillan who distributed Lothian and I used to love checking out the Tan books. The Rabbits with John Marsden was cool. Then there was The Lost Thing. But you’re right… Red Tree was very very special…. and this red tree you’ve created is just as special!! Wonderful.

Its really great!

Absolutely breathtaking!

Hmmmm…there is so much I love about this image. The tease of layers, the hint of colours that lay beneath, the textures that itch your fingers to touch it, and of course, the gloriously proud Red Tree. Great piece of art work.
