This watercolour painting was inspired by the many bare trees that stand across the Tasmanian landscape, their twisted branches shaped by years of wind, rain and changing seasons. Against a backdrop of gathering clouds, this solitary tree becomes a quiet symbol of endurance and resilience.
I was drawn to the contrast between the stark silhouette of the trunk and the softness of the surrounding paddocks, and to the way these trees tell a story of the weather they have lived through. For me, they are an unmistakable part of Tasmania's character—standing watch over the landscape through every season.
