Majestic Chestnut

This statuesque chestnut stands as a focal point within the landscape, inviting people to stop and gather. Its intriguing root structure and basal burrs evoke the form of a sleeping dragon, anchoring the tree firmly to the earth.

Viewed from a low, upward-looking perspective, the tree’s majestic presence is emphasised in this painting of the tree in winter. The eye follows the deeply grooved fissures winding upwards around its trunk, to marvel at its solidity and age.

Oil on canvas, 150cm(h) x 50cm(w)
