The Tree of Dream Print

I was on holiday in Lochem in Holland sitting on terrace of the pub. On the yard of the pub was really interesting tree of which trunk figured female torso by it shape. I drew it to my sketch book and forget for while. Many months later I looked the sketch and started to paint really intuitively shapes of women around the same tree. So the picture has born really straight from my imaginary without great philosophy. I don't know what really those flying women are maybe some spirits. Everybody can understand those by way of them own. For me nature and some spiritual characters effects comforting. I hope some one will find it who feels it as comforting as me. I always work the canvas by myself. I start by spreading rabbit glue over the canvas. Then I cook high quality gesso from rabbit glue, chalk and oil. I start painting by egg tempera, which is excellent choice for those who likes small details. After couple level I change to oils. I usually glaze the picture many times. I cook also the oil paints by myself using good materials. My aim is create a picture with should sustain. I try to avoid all the materials which would turn yellow by time and paint brightly over only bright parts that picture would look as good or even better while bright pigments changes more transparent by time. So I am have really old methods and that makes me really slow painter.
