cleansed by fire
healed in faith
will rise from the ashes
many Sacred Trees.
tender leaves will uncurl
many flowers will bloom
life will soon unfold
midst this dead gloom
Sacred Tree – 12″ x 36″ – Two Canvas Panels Diptych
This painting is done on two separate canvas panels in oil media. I was thinking of doing this since a long time as I get wasted if I dont paint trees. The trees somehow make themselves appear somewhere in my paintings.
The photograph of the painting makes it look a lot different than what it is, and thats the limitation we have learnt to live with. The canvases can be hung together or separately – it would still convey the whole picture. I would like to see these in a corner of the room where two walls meet.
For now, let me endure this fire pure

I’ve been haunted by this image of a tree on fire for months and ended up writing to it, a poem in a book of poems that’s due out in November. I am a writer (poetry and essays) but I appreciate art,and I wonder, have you sold this painting? Frankly, I love your work with trees.
Hello, is there any possibility of me getting this in higher resolution?
Ard: Are you asking about prints? I may have to take another photograph for this. Let me know. Thanks for wandering by.
Wonderful colors and such a dramatic picture. Thanks for sharing.
Kate, thanks for wandering by. Im glad you like the painting. Loved your job profile… for it is all about colors.
I enjoy looking at your paintings and like your use of texture effects. Great work.

Anton: Thank you. I have seen your works too and like they play of light in them. Thanks for wandering by.
You have wonderful blog. I liked your paintings especially though behind it. I perticularly liked the painting on the mast head of this blog.
You know what…my fav director is Tim Burton….this truly awesome paintings reminds me of a ‘Sleepy Hollow’…..
This captures the October season, Fall and the Halloween Spirit in all it’s glory!
Beautiful colors…keep inspiredd.
Peace,

Mystic: I did not see that movie though I searched for that tree (of death?) and it looked nice. Eerie is nice at times. Thanks for the comparison.
As far as Tim Burton goes, I have only seen Corpse Bride, Charlie and Chocolate Factory, Edward Scissorhands, and Batman… guess that is not good enough to know his directorial style…. or understand his genre.
How do you get such dramatic effects..awesome..and rightly said about the photographs and it is the same with the computer monitors too…sigh…
JAM: It always such a pleasure to see you here. I dont know about the dramatic effect…. but whenever I take a picture of any painting, it comes out totally different. I try taking it without flash. I keep the painting next to me and try to make the photo look exactly like the artwork. The end result, however, is never satisfactory.
But it kind of helps me when people see the painting in person and find it better than the photo.
