Alder / Fearn and Willow / Saille Finished!

These two paintings have taken a lot longer than I expected them to! They are the first couple of a large series of paintings that start with the ancient Irish alphabet, known as the Ogham Tree Alphabet. I don't know the trees by their UK names or sometimes even by the species of tree, so I use the North American equivalent to start the underlying drawing/painting. The Ogham letter is incorporated somewhere in the design. These two are Alder / Fearn and Willow / Saille. The paintings are acrylic and collage on canvas, 30x30.
