Mayne Island Magician Painting

I've painted this tree before in miniature. It's an old apple tree on it's own in what used to be a farmer's field, now part of a park on Mayne Island. I love the unusual shape...it's a joy to paint this. I'll probably do it again. This work is also very inspired by the great British painter, John Constable. He was way ahead of his time in the British art world and much maligned by other jealous painters. Too late in his life, he was finally recognized by renegade French artists, Eugene Delacroix, and Theodore Gericault, who revered him greatly.
