17 July 2009, Abstract Tree by Tom R. Mack

Artist: Tom R. Mack; Lakewood, FL
Title: Il Bell' Albero di Mango
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas
Available: ArtFire.com, Etsy.com
Appeal:

The orange tree draws my eye but doesn't seem unusual at all. When I focus on it I imagine it a ripe peach, candy-like, inviting, abundant. And have you noticed the green sky? Is it green or are we upside down next to a tree hanging from a tan cloud? The circles remind me of Gustav Klimpt's "Der Kuss" (the Kiss) but with a much lighter mood. Perhaps it's raining gumdrops, perhaps these circles are leaves, stars, magic or spirits. I can't help feel a little lighter in looking at this- as if I've entered a happy place where all good things happen. Heavenly.
