Red Tree Contest

 I am administering a contest on fineartamerica.com called Red Tree. Fineartamerica members will submit artworks of a red tree in any wet media including oils, acrylic, watercolor, and more.

I was inspired by my painting of a red tree called Fly Away With me. I was also inspired because of the symbolism that a Japanese maple tree holds.

Interested in participating or voting for an image?
