This is what someone wrote about my TREE paintings in their blog.

"Jordanka is nicknamed the “Tree Artist”, a name that is appropriate two times over: she is not only known for her stunning tree artwork, but also lives in heavily forested western Canada. Unlike most nature-themed art, Jordanka uses a surreal/modern approach, with a dark colored background and then a brightly contrasting color framing her subject; the overall effect is a vibrantly energetic art that seems to glow.
The trees themselves seem to dance; curling and twisting, branches often end in cute little curls and are accented with white blossoms and tufts of green".
