3. Magical Woodlands These colorful birch tree paintings are my newest series. These whimsical trees have jeweled tattoos on their bark. Each tree has a whimsical joyful nature. I wanted to capture the magic I feel when I'm in the forest amongst the trees in the beautiful outdoors. I try to capture a little of the joyful tree spirit in these paintings as the trees dance and sing in the wind.

The Magical Woodlands series of birch tree paintings was begun in 2010 after I had a show at the Black Butte Ranch Lodge in Sisters, Oregon. As you drive up to the Lodge, one can see a beautiful stand of white trees off to your right. One day as I was driving to the Lodge I noticed them in a particular beautiful light and it stuck in my mind. I didn't know if they are aspen or birch. But it didn't matter because it was their interesting markings on their bark that captured my attention. I imagined that they were adorned with jeweled tattoos and each one uniquely shaped and colored. Their tree spirit shined with these markings. I liked that the trees stood together as a community. I wanted to capture these beautifully adorned trees in a painting and soon that is what I was doing. Some of the smaller paintings are studies for larger ones I will do in the future. I'm enjoying painting this new magical woodlands series and will be adding more paintings for sale as I create them.
