A little bit kooky & quirky. Always fun and looking on the bright side even if it gets ridiculous!

Larger Bubble Tree


There is a common tree found throughout North America that has nearly rounded leaves with a sharp point at the end.  The trunk is scarred with dark notches and lines.  In the wind the leaves flutter furiously giving the tree the name “Trembling Aspen”.

Bubble Trees are my interpretation of Trembling Aspens.  I omit the pointy part at the end of the leaf and end up with a simple circle.  These leaves are painted in various colours, sizes and opaqueness and when scattered lightly over the lyrically hanging branches create an overall effect that is fresh and simple.

This One is a Beauty



I just completed and hung a commissioned Bubble Tree for clients.  After consulting with them on the overall feeling they desired for the piece as well as their preferred size and colour, I think the completed painting is beautiful.  I titled it after the sentiment of the painting which also happens to correspond to the new owners' charm and grace.
