Family tree art that tells your family story
Ideas for picking a tree to use in the painting:
A personalized family tree painting is more than just a family portrait. It’s a piece of art meant to reflects your family’s unique character. Every detail in the painting adds more ‘flavor’ and the more personal the details are to your family the better the finished painting looks. Since the tree itself is the focal point in the picture I advice my clients to pick the type of a tree that actually means something to their family.
While, by no means the tree has to be anything specific it is a detail that could make the painting feel more personal. Let’s say, you’re ordering a family tree painting for your parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. Try to think if there was ever a tree that held some special meaning to them. It could be a tree they carved their initials into when they first met, a tree in their front yard or just the type of a tree that is common to their neighborhood (state, country, etc).

A katmon tree (native to the Philippines) was chosen as a family tree for the painting given as a 50th birthday gift for a woman with Filipino roots. Katmon trees have beautiful blooms and I have decided to place one right in the center of the painting and use it’s petals to write the family members’ names on.
