This painting is fun. Pat Service, highly regarded as one of Canada’s finest landscape artists has taken rough drawings and created a playful piece that celebrates the unique character of trees. Her dynamic minimalist form is accentuated by the use of bright colours—red, blue, green and white against lemon yellow. Charming.

“This is a breath of fresh air, clouds of colour circling around the tree.” Pat Service

She acquired a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of B.C. and later studied art at the Glasgow School of Art in Scotland. Service’s work is held in private collections in North America, Britain, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
