A Tree and painting

[MarieC]

Peruvian walnut and Canary 3/4+ thickness wood. The tree has multiple layers. I again used Dave's @Dave Monk technique for layering the tree.  If you look closely you can see an old fence in the distance.     p.s. I painted the painting yesterday to compliment the tree...

You are a true artist.  Did you paint the background?

Thank you Paul, I am glad you like it your opinion means a lot to me.  Thank you for all your encouragement as I muddle through all of this.

Dave, coming from the artist that you are, that is quite the compliment.  Oh, and yes, I painted it yesterday...I guess I better add that bit to my post 

[Scrappile]

@MarieC, just wanted to add, showed the picture to Patti, because she saw you concept drawing on the board.. Her response is WOW!

[Charlie E]

Fantastic finished product! I think you painted the perfect background picture to go with it. Love the fence plus the way you did the painted grass next to the wooden grass tied the two together well. I can almost smell hay.

Oh, I am so happy Patti liked it.  It was so nice meeting her when I was over there.  Please tell her 'Hi' for me!

Awesome work Marie. I really like your creative ideas. Your work is like a breathe of fresh air. Very beautiful.

I am jealous.

You can fret, carve, mix woods, intarsia, layer, "muttle",  and then you can paint.  With all those skills and techniques you can make it even look beuatiful.

Marie, you did a fantastic job.  I love the fact that you incorporated many different woodworking and artistic techniques to create this beautiful art piece.  Someone will be the lucky recipient of this piece of art!   Dick Mira

fantastic job, it's beautiful

[Scrappile]

Just a note.  When Marie cam to visit Heppnerguy and me, she brought the board she would use to make this picture with. On the board she had hand drawn the trees, and grass that she used as a pattern to cut.  We had a great time discussing how she could accomplish it, believe me she had it pretty well all figured out.    I would have been happy just hanging her hand drawn picture up on a wall.

Mark, Thanks so very much! I am happy you like it.   My type of scroll sawing is pretty easy, I just kind of make it up while I am sawing so if I go "outside the lines"  no one knows.  Plus, I could never do hats, figure out bobble heads or do other beautiful work that you do!

Dick, thank you!  That is an interesting point, I am unsure what I am going to do with this. I just had it bugging me in my brain to make it.... and with Dick @heppnerguy and Paul's @Scrappile help with the logistics of how to make it all come together (from my drawing), and then later bouncing ideas off of @Charlie E for the background, I was able to complete it....So, I feel it was a group effort.  I am certain it wouldn't be as nice without all of their help.  I am thinking of entering it in the Spokane Interstate Fair for Judging.  I would also like to make another one like it except with a nighttime theme.  Thanks again.
