This is an 8 piece composition, using photoshop, the tree has the light coming from the centre unlike conventional lighting, the tree is made up of four or five iconic trees from around the world. In the frame work of the tree I am putting together the texts of the 5 major religions and these go around the tree at 33 degree's, and they reach the branch's they then separate into there own texts, within another layer I am currently researching Angelic symbols, then as the layers come out then the bark of the various tree's will be added. In conjunction as you walk around the tree it will incorporate the four season's(Spring, Summer, Autumn(fall in the USA) & Winter). I have been drawing tree's for as long as I can remember and it is only since loosing Mum, that any of the drawing have been making in sense up until I started the project which is now entering its third year. I deconstructed this particular now around 10 or 12 times but now the whole project is now making sense. At the same I am going to be starting a course on Web design so I can showcase my work, and expand my creativity potential. So please be patience as it is large piece of work..
Yours Sincerely
Dave...
PS, The trees are drawn in my sketch books and then scanned in.
