Weeping Willow gum trees capturing the beauty of dawn

capturing the beauty of dawn

Mixed media on canvas including gold leaf

and the stationary presence of the architecture

they are little environmental heroes

while the moored boats and lush greenery complete the peaceful setting

Weeping Willow gum trees capturing the beauty of dawnI love to travel and paint and this summer I visited my ancestors home a little village in the Czech Republic. This is the view to the river surrounded by weeping willows one of my favourite trees. Here my mum learned to swim the old fashioned way, by being thrown in by her bothers! This is the meeting area for the village where in the summer ever congregates. A place of history and connection!
