9×12 in. mixed media. If it’s too cold to skinney dip, then one can only bask in the warm rays of the mountain highlands by the lake during a full moon. Most likely this would just be slightly better than skinney dipping, goosebumps would be maxed out either way. Title obviously came to me as a continuation to my last BUBBLE TREE piece. Didn’t use as much tissue paper in this and I pulled out a trick I learned many years ago to get the right shading…shoe polish! Prior to that the shading wasn’t right for the feel I wanted…want to say the first time I saw this used was by a fellow student at Ottawa University. Never used it too much, kinda messy and gets on everything…the liquid polish doesn’t work as well as the paste type…rub and remove till you like it, then acrylic sealer. Funny how old studio tricks come back to ya… with this piece I believe I have enough to start a new catagory…Bubble Trees
Beautiful!
I love this ‘Bubble Tree’ series – I’ve spent ages looking at them before commenting and that’s probably the best compliment I can give!
Ken, excellent work.
The shape of your trees are beautiful. I really enjoy the scale and angles of this piece. Thank you for sharing you work and process with the world. It’s inspiring to see a creative person doing what they love.
Love it, Dreamlike – stained glass – have you ever thought of working in that media Ken?
don’t have the resources to try that …but yes i have thought about it
This is lovely. Really beautiful for the eye and effective for the mind.
Oooh… I already see that there’s a lot to learn from – and be inspired by – here in your blog. The trees are alluring. I look forward to digging deeper!
Beautiful piece— I love those trees.
