What's this? A painting from moi?!
It's not done, still got some stuff to do. But it's so close I can taste it!!
This is such a satisfying piece, because its a painting that's working and came mostly out of my head.
Inspired by many Tree of Life beliefs such as the kabalah and Celtic Tree of Life.
Trees are the closest thing in nature to ourselves... They are born from a seed, carried in a womb (earth), and grow over time.
The druids had very deep respect for trees.
And, now, so do I ^_^.
I'll put a complete version up, soon I hope.
Info: The bottom is supposed to represent outer space/night. Those are nebulas around the planet. The top is supposed to represent a rising sun from clouds, morning.
It's done with acrylic paint. And the stars were done with a toothbrush ^_^. Quite possibly the most fun out of the entire painting.
If this painting is any indication, you have very good skills with painting. The detail and blending is very well done and I love the concept, being familiar with some of the tree of life myths myself.
Native Americans also hold trees in high regard as a connection to the heavens. Some hang their dead or rather, representations of the dead from the branches in an attempt to give them a leg up into the afterlife.

Well, I need to fix the light through the base of the trunk, and develop the roots and the planet more then they look here. After that it should be done ^_^. Thanks for the compliment!

Oh, you can't help that. Most everyone's mad here.

Thats really interesting about the Native Americans. I didn't know that. I can add that to my collection of Tree of Life knowledge.
And thank you for the compliment ^_^. This is only the second painting I've ever done.

A brand new monthly article which showcases some of deviantART's finest equine artists, as well as recognizing the lesser-known but equally talented ones. Interviews, helpful tutorials and features can all be found here too! I hope you enjoy it.
The idea of this contest is to set you up completely blind with a mythical being - from any world culture - and turn you loose to come up with a deviation based around it!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
