The distinctive, quirky tree makes another appearance in Kerry Darlington's new collection. This time, the tree is bathed in a bright yellow glow which allows the image to spark a vivid sense of play.

The naivety and innocence in subject matter make this piece idyllic for brightening up even the darkest of areas, and exudes pure magic!

Step into a magical realm with this hand embellished limited edition painting by artist Kerry Darlington.

Notice how some of the critters stare back at you, while tendrils of the tree curl enticingly, drawing the eye inward to the multi-hued menagerie that makes a home among its branches.

Highly stylized and ornate, the candy-coloured whimsical creatures and other keepsakes are characteristic of Darlington's illustrative flair, artfully juxtaposed to fill the canvas with life and movement.

Can you feel the vast diversity of life, as depicted here in this limited edition print by artist Kerry Darlington?

See how the various creatures, buttons, lollipops, leaves and branches are carefully juxtaposed to hint at the perfect balance that makes up the cycle of life, with only a few of the feathered friends bothering to gaze back at you from their considerable vantage point.

A veritable rainbow of colours is set against a deliberately hazy platinum-hued backdrop, which can almost create a sense of vertigo if the viewer stares too long into its depths.

A contemporary take on an age-old theme, is the focus of this imaginative painting by artist Kerry Darlington.

Look closely to see the many unique elements that are painstakingly depicted here in exquisite detail, set against a misty platinum backdrop, that seems to be crafted by the artist's hand from the firmament itself.

Signature Darlington details abound, with a menagerie of multi-hued birds, butterflies, leaves, parcels and lollipops combine to create a stunning effect.

Kerry returns to the Tree of Life series with this breathtaking new 60 x 38 inch (image size before framing) painting simply called 'Tree Of Life - Gold.'

A Tree Of Life piece typically has the short large stump and then lots of branches coming from it but in this new Unique Edition, Darlington has further developed her original idea.

Apart from being layered with various embellishments and handmade, 'placed on' pieces, you also notice that each branch ends with a curl and this allows your eyes another level of focus.

It dazzles you, as you almost automatically flick from the placed on pieces: birds, butterflies, jewels, then to the perfectly formed gold leaves and then to the 'swirls, 'as the end of the branches.)

Did we forget to talk about the beautiful coloured background the tree is painted? So much for us to admire here.
