Starry Beech IIWatercolor Painting Powder based watercolor on 140 lbs, acid-free, watercolor paper, 13.25" x 11.25"
This is the third in a series of Starry Tree paintings and the second in a set of Starry Beech paintings. Both starry beech paintings are based on a weeping beech tree that grows in Allentown, NJ. It is a truly magnificent tree, which I believed is about 200 years old and it's still growing! Since Starry Beech and Starry Beech II are based on the grand old tree in Allentown, they have many similarities. However, I decided to make the bark of each tree a different color. Further, Starry Beech II is a variation of the form of Starry Beech. The branches in Starry Beech II are designed and composed in simpler way than Starry Beech. Also, the quantity and positioning of the stars are different in each painting. Maybe the two paintings can be considered to be the same tree in different years.
