"A Place in the Country"

This is a small 10" x 14" oil on canvas, a peaceful country scene that caught my eye. I hope you like it..........Jen

Oh nice! Love that tree! It rises so high.

That big tree reminds me of a sycamore, which are common and often huge trees here in the eastern United States. Anyway, nice job!

Thankyou Brookstream and Matthew, I love trees too and enjoy the different shapes and colours especially of the trunks............Jen

I recognise the gum tree from hols in Queensland and I like your painting, Jenni.

Hi Jen,
This has that dreamy effect...a very peaceful and calming feel to it. The massive size of the foreground gum tree really promotes the depth you have achieved in the painting. Nice work.

Thanks Margaret, we really do have some interesting trees and not just here in Queensland, I love them. Ron thanks also, I do feel that this was from my heart as it has all the elements that make me feel good........Jen

Instantly said Australia to me as I scrolled down without seeing where you are.

Lovely painting, you've really captured the size of those gums.

Hi Marion, and thank you for your kind words. I had a look at your web site and Wow, was impressed!........................Jen

Great work on the big tree and water .... I suppose it's an Eucalyptus tree ... I love it's bright and naked trunk
lovely picture

[JenniH]

Thanks Spiral world, the Eucalyptus or what we call "gum trees" have the most amazing trunks and bark wih varying colours and designs. I think in themselves make a terrific picture.................Jen

[DakotaPaint]

It's a beautiful piece. Love all the colors you use in your foliage...the water is handled so well. And that tree is very impressive.
