Description
I’m not sure what is it exactly about the birch tree but I am always pulled back to it. Every time I paint them it’s different. I painted this piece during the Winter around Christmas. Amazing vibrations and warmth filled my tiny studio while I worked on this canvas. I would look out the window next to my easel from time to time to re-set my perspective. I would notice the last-minute shoppers rushing up and down Princess st. running all of their Christmas errands in the cold Winter weather. Looking more closely at the warmth of the background or the busyness of the rapid brushstrokes I do think you can see how this piece reflects the surroundings from the time I was painting it.
