Beech Tree Through Varifocals Painting

was waiting for the plumber to come to service our gas boiler so, to pass the time, I took my sketch book upstairs and sat looking into the very grand beech tree which grows outside our house. I had just begun to wear varifocal glasses and was aware of the fractured view I now had of the world. This was the way I would look at the world for the rest of my life. I have always loved this tree. It dominates the front of our house and is in fact taller by some way. Looking at the tree from the first floor obviously allowed me to look at it from a different perspective than the usual view from the ground. Time has had a huge effect on this tree; branches have seared off in the wind and large scars are evident where the tree has successfully protected itself. The paintings are abstractions of the shapes my varifocals presented to me that day.
