Interference of Tree and Building

Here is a painting that I haven't worked on in a while, but it's in the studio now, and I got some done on it. I'm liking it.

P Tree

P is for pyramid. Here is a sketch of a crepe myrtle tree I saw on the street the other day. I started imagining triangles for the basic form. Here I have tried to incorporate the building in the background as well.

S Tree

This tree is formed using a spiral pattern. I've noticed this pattern in oak trees, where the joints tend to rotate creating a spiral.

H Tree

I like to think of trees and their relationship between the ground and sky. The double arc tree, also called the "H" form, expresses the tensions between the two planes, and the sweeping growth of the tree.

Y Tree

In art class they might have told you that the basic tree started with a "Y". Here is one of my take on the "Y" form.
