This is the photograph taken near St Fillans in Perthshire
And these are the paintings by Piet Mondrian. The first one I saw at the Van Gogh to Kandinsky exhibition and loved the free style, the colour combinations and the symbolism involved.
Woods near Oele 1908
Wood with Beech Trees 1899
I'm really attracted to the tall vertical lines and the strong colours so with this in mind here is my finished (maybe!!) landscape
Unlike Mondrian's trees, my trees dissolve into the atmosphere for whatever reason you care to think of. I have my reasons and you will have yours.
I'm not entirely sure about the wall...I thought it was too dark but on reflection I think that it balances the painting. If I took it out or chopped the painting in half the composition would be similar to Mondrian's Wood with Beech Trees.
Think I'll call this one The Clearing......it suits the image, the symbolism and the reason for posting.
