The white trees (2022)Acrylic painting by John Cottee

I liked these white(ish) trees standing out against layers of green, with a red roof to compliment them. I’ve taken a few liberties: the trees had a little foliage, but I liked the dramatic effect of leaving them bare, and the silhouetted banana leaves in the foreground were not initially intended, but I liked the way they looked in turquoise in the underpainting, so just enhanced them. I think it makes fora better composition than a realistic rendering.
