| This is wonderful. It would have looked great in my show I took down today. My major theme was trees and nature. |

I like the colors you have used
Feels Very Strong and deep as a tree would be...
feels like oak tree in the fall to me ....
I think it would have a strong Organic, feel of nature,
rythum, and appeal, if the Trunk of the tree and lower branch
would have been in Harmony with your top branch, and land surface.
Maybe a few tiny dark leaves on the limbs for oaks hung on to their leaves,
maybe 1 - 3 specks dropping. ? (telling more of the story)
I love the subtle looks of roots below the surface.
Beautiful dark colors and depth in the painting. |

I like the rich, deep, warm tones in this painting. I love paintings that set a virtual environment or a mood. I think this one achieved both of those. |
