Reaching Toward the Light
Oil / Canvas

This tree is one of my favorites. It stands tall and mighty like a stone monument unwilling to lose its fight against gravity.
I left the painting grid in the painting to contrast the organic twists and turnsthat defy the ordered universe we believe we see around us.
We have much to learn from this tree. I would guess it was over 4000 years old when it passed on. How old must it be now then?
