Artist's Comments

oil on canvas, 180x120 cm.

Fargesia is a family of bamboos, found in alpine conifer forests of East Asia. They are known in Chinese as "jian zhu" meaning "arrow bamboo".
The bamboo in this painting: 'Fargesia victualia' is only found on Tanega Island, South of Japan and is grown as a source for food and fuel.

This is another one of my larger works. I painted about 700 shoots to create this field.

Daily Deviation

Given 2009-01-09

tilia arbora by *vanlubeck possesses that uncanny ability to cast the viewer both in doubt and wonder, with its extraordinary craftsmanship in achieving three-dimensionality and always breathing the spirit of surrealism... a true gem of this genre.

I really enjoyed seeing the process of how you made this wonderful work. You must also do a lot of planning and sketching out before you get the canvas. You have an amazing talent and great perspective.

Thanks :blush:
You're right, an awful lot of lot of work goes in to the preparation. Each painting actually starts with very thin pencil lines. Unfortunately they don't show up in a photo, so you're missing that step. By the time I bring out my paint brushes, it's just a matter of connecting the dots :shh:
