Blue Trees

Blue Trees is a very personal, very important piece for me. I had a major mystical experience when painting that and there's a reason it is in the background of many other images during a period between March and May 2014. For example, Cupcakes and the Magic Bottles. 

I know what it is about but I'm not telling. 

Blue Trees, Acrylics on Canvas, 30"x40" - Silvia Hartmann March - May 2014

A vibrant, abstract painting dominated by stylized tree forms. The primary subject consists of large, flowing blue branches that stretch and curve across the image, detailed with golden outlines and intricate patterns.

Interwoven are similar tree structures depicted in a lighter blue with a segmented, almost mosaic-like design in white.

The background is a lush, layered expanse of green with small spots of orange and red, suggesting foliage and possibly a sunset in the upper section. The composition is dynamic, with the tree forms occupying the majority of the space and creating a sense of movement.

The color palette is vivid, with the contrast of deep blues against bright greens and golden accents. The style appears to be a blend of abstract expressionism and Art Nouveau, with a focus on organic forms and bold colors.

The lighting seems soft and even, highlighting the intricate details of the branches and foliage, creating a visually compelling and imaginative scene.
