🎨 Town in a Tree - Original painting in acrylic and oil
This was the first version of my Town in a Tree series. The wooden surface of the tree was made with a Frottage technique. I used the texture of a plank from the old wooden flooring at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna where I was a student back then. The landscape was inspired by the Rax Mountains in Lower Austria.

Kinda cool .. De Chirico often used this motif where he put architecture inside figures, or landscapes inside rooms, to be more metaphysical, often suggesting ancient Roman ruins
De Chirico and Delvaux are my favorite surrealists. I was always hypnotized by the timeless atmosphere of their visions.
Really effective. I love frottage, haven't done it in a few years, but have done grave rubbings to use in my print making, It is fun.
This was the first and only once I've tried it.
Man. I love the figures of bodies insinuated in the tree and also the detail of the face. Does it have a color palette a little different from the one you handle? Is it something like an arid environment on a clear day?
Thank you @ruygda!
A wonderful city with rugged textures, fine lines and good taste.
The only way it could get better was if it had boobs... oh wait!
Yeah, boobs are absolutely essential architectural elements! :-)
For me, I like more the first version than the second version. It is a question of tastes. Wonderful details, great job.
