Sycamore Gap Painting

Sycamore Gap Painting

Emily Ward has added her collection of Sycamore Gap paintings to the website. Sycamore Gap is based in Northumberland in the North East of England. You can find it within a dip in the ever long Hadrian's wall.

History of Sycamore Gap

The tree is a Sycamore tree. Rumour is it that the tree is over two hundred years old. Apparently there were more trees which stood next to the Sycamore tree but over the years they have been removed. Nobody knows exactly sure why the trees have been removed. Some suspect they have been removed for game keeping purposes.

Sycamore Gap Painting in the Winter

The website proudly displays four paintings of Sycamore Gap. The first being Sycamore Gap in the winter. 

This beautiful painting gives a side view to the tree. The composition of the painting is put together so the looker feels they are walking along Hadrian's Wall.

Emily has still managed to add her bright colours into the painting. The sky is a mix of pinks, blues and yellows with lots of white snowflakes.

Sycamore Gap Painting in the Autumn

From a very similar composition Emily has painted Sycamore Gap in the Autumn. Again the looker feels as if they are walking along Hadrian's wall towards the tree.

The painting is extremely bright. Rich with Autumn colours. The tree is actually bare leading us to believe it is the end of the Autumn season. But the sky and land surrounding the Sycamore tree is filled with orange, brown and yellow colours.

Sycamore Gap in the Spring

In the painting named Sycamore Gap in the Spring the colours are bright playful colours such as blue and yellows. The painting displays a bright blue sky filled with fluffy clouds. There are little bits of green to indicate the leaves growing on the trees.

Sycamore Gap Painting in the Summer

The last of the series of paintings is Sycamore in the Summer. The field in front of the Sycamore tree is packed with colourful flowers. This is in fact the only original painting which is for sale. All the others in the collection sold immediately.
