That’s a very beautiful tree indeed. Love the detailed demonstration of the foliage effect. Your videos are really helping me get through the time while I wait for my hip replacement surgery. So much pain and stress, and the beauty forming along with the music really takes me out of that space into a more healing one. Thank you.

I am sending lots of love and healing energy your way 🤗💕✨

Wow! I love trees. This one is a magical tree. I would love to sit beneath it and just breathe in the fresh air. Every time I try to use salt, it never works. I can’t wait to try this painting, however. I appreciate you sharing your techniques with us.💕

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Thank you so much for your kindness Debbie 💕🤗 Salt can be tricky! The paper is usually the biggest factor to consider. But, this technique should achieve good results as long as enough time is allotted to letting each layer dry 😉 I hope you have fun experimenting sweet friend! 🎨

A tree of life at the start of the year sounds like a good omen. ..Yggdrasil perhaps! The way you develop the foliage with successive layers is amazing. I love the bark effect it looks like lines of energy flowing up the trunk. It is a powerful image. Thank you for sharing the process I look forward to trying it out. Wishing you a week of growth and peace. B x 💙💫🌿

How do I add a comment instead of a reply? I don't see anywhere to click.

[@Blue-rd5lq]

If you click in the Comments box on the left under the video you then can see all the comments made on the right of the screen. At the bottom is an ‘add comment’ box rather than a ‘add reply’ box. Hope this helps.

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Yes to good omens as we start this year!!! ✨❤️✨ When I think of trees, everything they do for us and every way they contribute to our world and to us, I feel so much gratitude 💕 Yggdrasil, a symbolic way of showing us that everything and everyone is somehow connected in the Norse universe, is a nice reminder that we are all born from star dust. ✨ I'm so glad you enjoyed this one my sweet friend 🤗 Thank you for getting me and thank you for spending time with me 💕 I hope you have a wonderfilled week ✨💕🤗 And a huge thank you for being such a kind and supportive member of our community.🥰

[@dawnkarasaki6172]

Love it all so much and loving the dimensions in the trunk. You are magic with salt❤

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Thank you so much for your kind words, Dawn! It means a lot to me! 🤗💕

Thank you ❤️

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Thank you for sharing your personal experience with the trees and for the way you see and feel the world. 😊 It means a lot to me that you feel that kind of connection with my artwork and my words. I wish we could hug a few trees together ☺️ Well, when people are connected like this, there is no doubt they share some synchronistic moments no matter how near or far apart they are. Thank you sis 🤗💕 Lots of love heading your way xoxo
