Deep Roots and Milky Way

Here is “Deep Roots and Milky Way,” the newest addition to my Tree of Life series.

This is a commissioned piece, and my client requested that I create a new image with the sky similar to the sky in my painting, Lone Tree and Milky Way:

And a tree with roots similar to those in my painting, Gilded Breeze:

This presented a fun challenge! For reference again, here’s what I ended up with:

In this time lapse video from a day’s work in my studio, you can see me working on this painting (I tone some small wood panels first–skip to 0:23 if you are impatient):
