Description
In the town of Celebration, there are no happy little accidents. (Lots of happy trees, but buildings and layout were all thoughtfully planned out.) On the edge of the town square along Celebration Avenue is the Bank of America Financial Center with its Tower. The tallest structure in the quiet town, with stairs circling the outside. What’s inside, if anything at all is a mystery.
The building seems a bit like a landlocked lighthouse. Lots of style and beauty, although a bit mysterious in function. Almost twenty years ago I lived for 6 months in a city that had been thriving for hundreds of years. There were amazingly ornately decorated buildings built before we knew a new world existed. A palace complex had been turned into a beautiful city park. And then there were buildings built since communism took root. Extremely functional. Without beauty. No pride of ownership, they looked gloomy and sad. Life is like that city, a mix of old and new, everyday and extraordinary. The contrasts making one appreciate the beauty all the more.
Painting trees continues to be a learning experience. How much detail to strive for, when to add another layer of paint, and when to leave it alone. I like the shapes made by the light coming through the leaves. I find myself referring back to artist Erin Hanson’s treatment of trees. Wonderful branches, negative space, and color all are a staple in her landscapes.
