Pat Service was inspired to create a series of paintings using the natural form of trees and foliage. In this engaging piece, the tree trunk with subtle ‘bark-like’ markings stands tall on the canvas in natural light gray hues punctuated by a pop of bright yellow and red rain drops. Service is exploring minimalist form and colour here in a fresh and imaginative way.

“Colour, line, texture and composition are the players; the playground is the canvas.”
