I can’t get enough of this

The Light at the End of the Tree Tunnel

It was love at first sight.

The Light at the End of the Tree Tunnel

The Light at the End of the Tree Tunnel magicked itself into my vision.

The Light at the End of the Tree Tunnel

A couple of months back, down the south coast, I followed the signs to a beach I hadn’t previously explored.

The pathway had always been there, ten minutes walk away from the campground cabin, but to me, it was a hidden Secret Garden-like treasure.

The Light at the End of the Tree Tunnel

I was captivated by the soft, bushy archway of trees travelling down to the sea.

Was it a near-death experience? Perhaps, as this was indeed the light at the end of the tunnel. Even better, the tunnel itself was exquisite. I was bowled over by beauty, as well as bountiful metaphors.

Tell me your perceptions, please.

And now to continue the recent theme of art founded on tree-plus-female-human, here’s a sequence I wish to share with you.

(see a couple of tree-girl-rich posts from recent times…

Sustenance…..Tree Girl.…..)

initial watercolour playtime

Let’s look at the creative development of a teeny picture, once again inspired by the new year’s Ruby-in-tree photo.

I attempt to soften the brightness with white paint

Guess what?

I add collage – paintage

Somehow the girl-in-tree

has combined with

the archway shape

to form this picture.

I return to the paintage much later to strengthen it

I see tree.

I see girl-woman. I see softness, strength, colour, life, sitting in spirituality.

the archway, the inverted heart, the candle flame, the sanctuary….it becomes blue, gorgeous rich ultramarine blue

What do you see or feel?

with love, art and soul

  1. So beautiful- all of it. The tree metaphore is one I mine continually. Tunnels always speak volumes. Very nourishing. Here are the lyrics to a simple ditty that came to me when wandering in nature in a meditation induced altered space-

    I saw a clearing in the bush
    [I saw a clearing in the bush]
    There was a very green tree
    [There was a very green tree]
    My roots are strong- my trunk is strong-
    It’s time for new folliage!!
