I think "The Chestnut Tree" could fit into a few different places. Where will you display it?
I love my Danish chestnut tree.
I enjoy sitting under it and it always greats me when I enter my driveway.
I have painted it a lot of times. This painting was the first of many with the same angle in Guldbrandt Style
In Denmark the children make small animals of the chestnuts. I mostly use them as decorations for my table and candles.
The painting shows a chestnut tree, where the large, crooked trunk is highlighted. I love sitting under the branches, which catch the sunlight and create a peaceful atmosphere. It is often in the autumn my favorite places, as the sun set to the vest and send the last warm sunshine just to the trunk of the chestnut tree. We have photos of it as a small tree and knows it has been here for a long time. Hence for us the tree symbolizes wisdom and the passage of time, while the younger trees represent in the background the many possibilities of life.
