Description
An abstract painter could spend his entire life painting nothing but patterns found in the bark of trees & never run out of inspiration...

Superlative !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Intricate and beautiful.
a very nice texture
Excellent find. What type of tree is that?
I took this quite a while ago & I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's a madrone. Madrone bark can look radically different from season to season.
a natural artwork! and a wonder how nature works! amazing capture of the texture! ;o)
Beautiful, you are right about abstract painters!
Great textures and colors, like overlapping butterfly wings. Well found!
What a gorgeous shot of the beautiful bark. Patterns have always amazed me ! There is so many things to see here ie: pizza, a gopher, and many many faces as a starting point.
Wonderful color, patterns, textures and overlapping effects in this shot of the Madrone trunk. With such a variety of trees in my area, I usually, but not always, leave the treatment of the bark alone, unfettered with added postwork.
Very special
Wow! This is fantastic! What a gorgeous pattern!
Fabulous and mind-bending capture
You are so right about the painter's being inspired by tree bark. I tried to take a shot of some interesting bark last weekend, but sadly when I got home and downloaded it I found it blurred...sigh. I guess I just get to favorite yours :)) Thanks for sharing your talent.
Very much an abstract painting...you caught the overlap, the flowing-lava feeling, the way those dark brown spots litter all that bright yellow (and orange), the intrusion of darker flows (the peach/rust-hued sections drooping over the yellows, etc), and the feeling of a non-ending continuum, of which we see only a small part. This is a Claude vision of tree bark...and I imagine small creatures trekking inside these folds must feel the same thing. Vast and beautiful.
