Several years ago Lazar made great exhibition of his pinhole photographs. Seeing his trees done in pinhole technique gave me idea to suggest him exhibition were we would present our art together, photography and watercolor . We were already doing same subject of forest and trees.
So we made it, and we were very satisfied how it all turned out.
We were also thinking about text that will go for audience and he came out with great idea.
Poem of Joyce Kilmer- Tress, it was only text we had printed in katalogue,and it was jack point.
Trees
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
B&W was real challenge to me but I was satisfied at the end.
larger formats
this was first time i started adding silver watercolor to my work
mixture of watercolor and ink/ used lot of masking fluid to make branches
smaller formats
And we had made one work together.
First Lazar made his photography and printed it on Fabriano watercolor paper so I could paint some parts on my own in watercolor.
We called it
-Fading tree-
Hope you will like this walk in the past and check work of my friend.
