Description
With every passing day, the trees in our environment grow more and more into their own all the while witnessing the world around them.
In this birch tree forest painting, I wanted to capture the juiciness of life within our standing brothers & sisters.
The shiny 3D texture is clear to reveal layer upon layer of texture and colour.
One of these layers includes the Peace Prayer of St. Francis. If you look closely, you’ll still find a few words popping up here and there.
This richness of detail doesn’t only represent the rings of years gone by, but all that our trees have heard, seen, sensed, smelled, tasted and touched over the years.
Their very presence is a testament to all that has ever been. It’s also a record of their own cycles and experiences.
Each tree is unique. Yet they’re all part of an interconnected communication network called the wood wide web.
Much wisdom can be accessed when connecting to trees. They have a lot to teach us.
They help us both ground and connect.
May we also help them continue to stand tall in all of their magnificence.
