rex woodmore 'Family Friendly' tree paintings
WELCOME! Greetings from Western Australia!
I LOVE TREES AND ALL ASOCIATED FLORA & FAUNA
As a self taught artist I like to think I have not been influenced by other artists.
However, I admit I admire the work of great and famous artists like Vincent VanGogh, Albert Namatjira, Hans Heysen and in particular, Claude Monet.
While reading up about this great artist, I found that not only did he have lily ponds, love trees , plants and flowers the same as I do, but he also was credited with a quote quite remarkably similar to mine: |
Claude Monet said : 'Nature, the source of my inspiration'
Rex Woodmore says: 'God’s creation, my inspiration'
Rex Woodmore says: 'God’s creation, my inspiration'
If I have anything in common with Monet,
it is my love of BEAUTIFUL trees.

PAINTINGS IN THE COLOURS OF AUSTRALIA
An extract from the novel 'Kings in Grass Castles' (Reproduced with the kind permission of the Famous Author : #MaryDurack)
GOD'S CREATION, MY INSPIRATION
In my art I attempt to capture the essence of Australia in its diverse splendour, colour and intrigue, but compared to the awesome wonder of God’s creation, the work of this mere mortal, reverts to nothing more than gesso, acrylic paint and gloss, crudely daubed onto canvas.
‘The heavens declare the glory of God & the skies proclaim the work of His hands’ Psalm 19:1 |
MATERIALS USED IN MY PAINTINGS
I usually work on canvas, stretched canvas or art board. I paint with what I consider to be the highest quality professional Interactive acrylic paints, Liquefying medium and Gesso on canvas, stretched canvas or canvas panel. ROBUST & WASHABLE To give my work an extremely tough washable surface I finish it with several protective and colour enhancing coats, of crystal clear, Acrylic gloss or satin varnish. |

MARINE & COASTAL PAINTINGS
Seascape paintings and underwater scenes.
I hope I have developed a degree of skill for realism in my landscapes but also in my images of underwater scenes inspired by my scuba diver days -marine creatures, (Coral, fish, sharks – white pointer, great whites, hammerhead sharks, whale sharks). |
JACARANDA TREE PAINTINGS
The greatly admired Jacaranda is also known as Blue Jacaranda, Black Poui, or as the fern tree (Jacaranda mimosifolia or an older name was Jacaranda acutifolia)
In Australian art history there are several highly regarded Jacaranda Paintings by famous artists, such as D'arcy Doyle. Images of Jacaranda trees are often drawn or painted with almost lime green fern like leaves, with their blossom in dark or light shades of lilac, blue, purple and mauve and even white. My Jacaranda tree paintings have proven to be very popular and sought after by several clients in the U.S, U.K. and Australia. |
GUM TREE PAINTINGS
Gum Trees or ‘’Gumtrees’’ Eucalyptus & Corymbia species) are always a favourite in my artworks as they were in the great works of famous artists like Albert Namatjira (One of Australia's great artists, and perhaps the best known Aboriginal painter) and Wilhelm Ernst Hans Franz Heysen who produced beautiful paintings of trees including his well-known watercolour, Guardian of Brachina Gorge, which was finished in 1937 from several drawings made in the early 1930s.
|
GRASS TREE PAINTINGS
The Australian Grass tree (Xanthorrhoea species) can be seen in the landscape scenes of many of my works. The Xanthorrhoea pressii was at one time called the black boy tree and the Xanthorrhoea kingii was the black gin tree, many older people will remember them simply by the now politically incorrect name of ‘blackboys’. I refer to them as Grass trees.
|
BOAB TREE PAINTINGS
The Boab tree, that wonderful, weird, much loved and admired wonderful ‘’upside down tree’’ a wonderful source of bush food (bush tucker) from the Kimberley of Western Australia & some other parts of Australia. I have painted many of these unique trees that lend themselves so well to an individual’s personal artistic interpretation.
The Boab tree (Adansonia species) is similar to the African Baobab trees. The common name "boab" is a shortened form of the generic "baobab". Although boab is the most widely recognised common name, Adansonia gregorii has a number of other common names. In the late 1850s the name Australian baobab was common & is probably the origin of boab. Other names include: bottle tree, dead rat tree, gouty stem tree, monkey bread tree, cream of tartar tree, gourd-gourd tree, sour gourd, gadawon. |
MULBERRY TREE PAINTINGS
‘The Mulberry Tree’ is the title used for a famous oil painting by Vincent van Gogh. It was completed in Saint-Rémy in October, 1889. It is currently located at Norton Simon Museum. Pasadena, CA.
My ‘Mother Mulberry’ is a popular painting with an ‘Old World Charm’ SOLD |
