Blue Trees Old Town - Lindsey Whitelaw
Lindsey’s blue trees old town - 45 x 45 cm oil on canvas
This image is the original artwork that Lindsey showed to Samantha Leftwich, Anne Conduit, Elizabeth Manuel and Aleid Channing. She created further artwork based on their descriptions of what they saw when they looked at the original piece. Elizabeth painted her own responses.
This painting depicts three skeletal trees which rise from the bottom of the painting of the against a lilac grey blue wall. The wall occupies the whole of the background with the exception of a rectangle of blue sky in the top left-hand corner. The three trees are loosely painted and appear like ghosts with leafless branches reaching to the top and occupying three quarters of the canvas. The weblike branches on the top left of the painting are silhouetted against the blue sky with a scattering of dried leaves casting shadows on the wall behind.
