Living Tree People

Mardi Gras has past and I had other posts that kept this one from being posted at that time but had I been in New Orleans, I wouldn’t have been able to think of a better costume than these!

I saw these wonderful photographs by Clark Vandergrift featured  in my local the Washington Post Magazine. He takes the scenic photos and combines them in Photoshop with models painted as trees that become “Living Tree People.” The models are painted by Jen Seidel, a professional body painter. The first model is Vandergrift’s son.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
