The Secret Life of Trees



THe Secret Life of TRees

This is the first of my coming series of the secret life of trees. Of course, I do not know if my series will be just one or two more paintings. I just finished another tree today, so at least my series will be two paintings. The image to the left is a close-up of the section of the redwood tree that is cracked open and you can see within the tree to the spirit that animates and brings intelligence to the redwood physical matter. The image to the left is a close-up of the upper branches. It is the dance of what goes on during photosynthesis when carbon dioxide is taken in and oxygen is released. I love painting trees. IT is a wholely delicious feeling to paint a tree.
