„Spirit of the Forest Tree“

from the gallery of Patricia Howitt
Description:

The forest is a great place to feel really close to nature, and there are times when that presence can be felt very strongly - such was the inspiration for this painting.

The tree in this image is the Tarairi - Beilschmedia tarairi - found only in Northland and Auckland, New Zealand.

It is a handsome tree with large glossy leaves and it reaches 60-80 feet in height. Its young shoots and leaf-stalks are covered in rusty down and its large mature leaves catch the light with their sheen.

Growing out of the top of the Tarairi in this painting is another tree, the Shining Broadleaf - Griselinia lucida - an endemic species which itself can reach a height of up to 30 feet.
