I have long intended to create a family tree in the tradition layout of a fan chart and have now added the first listing which can display 2 generations of ancestors (for either one central person below the fan or a couple) with space to add a few descendants below the fan too.
I have based this artwork on the Olive tree, creating the artwork in watercolours and pen and ink and then scanning each individual olive and sprig before digitally moving them into place to create the fan shape. This gives me the flexibility to adapt the layout to cater for varying generations and I will be adding listings to cater for up to 5 generations within the fan with descendants below.
I will also be adding fan charts based on the shamrock leaf for those with Irish heritage and probably go on to use my personal favourite, the Ginkgo as well as the traditional oak tree.
