Olive Grove Print

This painting is part of a more abstract and expressionist series where like in water colour the white of the canvas board has an important role. For a reason olive trees are often painted objects. Their knobby bold tree trunks and their fine white green leaves are fascinating. I started to sketch one olive tree to understand its features/structures and expanded the sketches to reflect an olive grove increasing the tension by the slight slope of the grove. Then I transferred the sketch to the canvas and built the painting up adding the shadows to one side of the trunks and by this defining their knobby structures, yet leaving the white of the canvas to let the structures breath.
