Description
Colourful Tree – a crown in three bands of colour
Painting on canvas splays a single tree into a wide arc on a plain white ground and divides its crown into three bands of colour — modern painting handling a spectrum the way a landscape usually handles distance.
Technique and texture
A leaf here is a bead of thick colour tipped off the point of the blade, each one angled away from the branch. The trunk is painted in longer winding strokes of gold-brown and olive with the swirl of the paint left visible. The white ground is matt and smooth with no texture at all, which pushes the crown entirely forward.
The motif
The trunk climbs from the lower edge in a soft S and divides near the top into two main branches that open to either side. The crown is densest just above that fork and thins toward the edges into single strokes. The bands run horizontally — warm gold and rust on the left, pink and scarlet through the middle, blue-green on the right — and a few loads have flown clear of the crown and hang in the white.
Setting and placement
A landscape shape belongs on a long wall, and the white ground means it will not darken the room it hangs in. Hung where the light is even, the three bands stay legible as bands rather than merging into one mass.

Colourful Tree above a bed or sofa
Colourful Tree is painted in 16 landscape sizes, from 40 x 35 to 260 x 175 cm. Let the crown in three bands of colour span about two thirds of the furniture below: 110 x 75 or 120 x 80 cm above a bed 160–180 cm wide, 130 x 90 or 140 x 95 cm over a 200 cm sofa, 120 x 80 cm over a dining table, and 90 x 60 cm in a hallway.
The first photograph shows the tree in a slim black frame above a bed with a slatted wooden headboard, and the second photograph is a close-up of the thick paint in the crown, orange, red, purple and turquoise. A frame for Colourful Tree is chosen in the Frame menu, which starts at Without frame. With YES under Stretcher the tree with its gold, red and blue crown arrives stretched, ready to hang. Delivery takes 15–45 days. Every leaf is a hand-painted bead of colour, so this painting is not a print.
