Almond Blossom Tree at Night.

The almond blossom trees are a constant source of inspiration. They are the first tree that blossoms in January and February every year. Flowering blossom trees represent awakening and hope. Almond trees add a special charm to the landscapes of Andalucia. Their willowy, wispy branches and delicate flowers grace hillsides and craggy cliffside areas with an elegant beauty. The colours and scents of their blossoms bring the springtime countryside to life. It’s an amazing experience to drive through large expanses of land cultivated with almond trees, but even more delicious is to walk through the groves.

Kirsty Wain has been inspired by Van Gogh's painting of almond blossoms, in this piece she explores strong contrasting light and dark colour tones. The pale white petals of the flowers contain flecks of pink, lemon yellows, and turquoise and are set against an intense midnight blue and violet background, with large close-ups of the beautiful spring flowers in bloom.
The prominent branches are twisted and layered with heavily textured ochres, violets, rose pinks, and olive greens The brushstrokes are applied with expressive marks creating a beautiful and atmospheric artwork

"Almond Blossom at Night" is an original oil painting on a 3cm deep stretched canvas. The piece is 85cm tall and 90 cm wide, and the sides of the painting are painted "wrap-around style," so the piece can hang without a frame.
