Title: "Mijas Olive Tree" (2020) by Kirsty Wain
This captivating watercolor painting by Kirsty Wain transport you to the sun-drenched landscapes of Andalucia, Spain. Depicting a grand, ancient olive tree, the artwork is a vibrant celebration of nature and the timeless beauty of the Mediterranean countryside.
A majestic olive tree, meticulously painted in rich green, brown, and ochre hues. Its intricate branches reach towards a bright blue sky, adorned with touches of purple and pink.
The scene is set in Mijas, Andalucia, with rolling hills and distant mountains in the background, further enhancing the Mediterranean atmosphere.
Wain's watercolour technique is evident in the artwork's fluidity and luminosity. The colors are applied with confidence, creating a sense of movement and vitality.

About the Artist
Kirsty Wain is a British painter currently living and working in Spain. Deeply connected to the Mediterranean landscape, her work offers an expressive, emotive interpretation of the surrounding environment. Drawing strong inspiration from Post-Impressionism and the bold colour theory of Fauvism, Wain uses vibrant hues, textured application, and fluid line work to capture the intrinsic energy, spirit, and light of a location. Her paintings, frequently focused on ancient olive groves, hillside pines, and sweeping terrains—seek to translate fleeting personal moments and deep emotional ties to place directly onto the canvas.
Wain’s distinct visual language continues to gain international visibility, and her paintings are held in private collections around the world.
´ I love colour. I love nature. I love art. Together, they are my language. ´ K Wain 2025
