Blue Moon Tree My “Blue Moon Tree” only blooms at midnight during a full moon. This is a fantasy painting of an old Asian plum tree full of life and new blossoms. The moon is painted a thick translucent golden white. Hard to see in pics but very visible in person. The night sky is deep rich turquoise and Prussian blue. The valley is a deep green with dark shadows and moonlit highlights. The 3-D rocks are painted with genuine thick gold mica flakes. 3-D black metallic grasses are painted around the rocks and in front of the tree. The tree blossoms are painted in several layers of translucent, iridescent blues and violets. The trunk and branches of the tree are very special. The bark is swirled with alumina particles and rich thick paints. You can see the actual texture of the bark. Pearl green, pearl red, glossy black, glossy burgundy and rich blue are swirled to create the 3-D branches. Hearts are hidden in the swirls of the tree trunk, branches and roots. A few tiny moonlit dragonflies are dancing around the canvas. This is a gallery wrapped, staple free, ready to hang stretched canvas. The sides are painted black. This painting is coated in a high quality satin artist varnish to retain its original beauty for many years to come.
