Description
This is an artwork created from my original oil painting called Divinity Inspired. I felt like playing with it online and found myself surprised at the how the wonderful colours created with my oils were enhanced with a little digital tweeking of this image, making it more vibrant, stunning and uplifting to behold. All I did was an auto adjust on this image, so there's minimal changes to the original image, but enough to make it different for those who are looking for something a bit different.
I painted this painting when I lived in Melbourne Australia some decades ago. It was an apple tree from which I was able to pick the perfect green apples for my homemade apple pies that I cooked from scratch for my family as a young mum. I'd grown up in Sydney Australia and found it hard going at times in Melbourne mainly in winter because of my memories of Sydney winters which were quite different. Melbourne winter days were mostly grey, overcast and cold where as Sydney winters have the most glorious blue skies and sunny days despite of the low temps. A bit of sunshine goes a long way in lifting one's spirits. Anyway I was feeling a bit low on this day as I was standing out in the family kitchen that looked out onto a back yard filled with trees and this tree. As I looked out the sun broke through the clouds and hit this tree in particular in the most divine way and at that moment I felt like God had spoken to me. My spirits lifted and because of how I felt I knew I wanted to paint this memory in tribute of how the divine can speak to us through the simplest and smallest things. And also I've never forgotten those delicious apple pies I used to make from scratch from apples picked from this tree......yum! :-)

What a great piece and explanation, Leanne! As you talk about the sun coming through the sky and lighting up the tree, I can almost feel it through your words and art. So beautiful! I love those divinely inspired moments-there is definitely nothing like them!

Many of your paintings give me the feeling that your must be in touch with or inspired by an invisible, transcendent dimension that is beyond our ordinary, everyday consciousness. Perhaps it is the divinity and the poetry in your soul that I see in your gorgeous artwork. Keep it up. The world is a lovelier place because you're in it.
