Birch on Raw Canvas

Projekt: fUN&Co (forms Up North & Colours)

Year: 2025

Medium: oil on canvas

Dimensions: 23x32cm (dimension frame)

This intimate study captures a Swedish birch tree painted directly onto raw canvas, the unpainted cardboard-coloured ground becoming winter sky and snow. The distinctive silver bark with dark markings creates strong vertical contrast against the warm negative space. The delicate branch work demonstrates botanical precision whilst the minimal composition focuses attention on the tree’s essential form. Professional framing behind glass elevates this small oil study to the presentation standard of works on paper, creating an unusual hybrid between painting and drawing formats.
