Artwork Description:
In this painting I attempt to capture the strong resolve of the tree in the foreground, as well as the warmth of the autumn sun's glow over the cool ground. The center tree leaning towards the left, grows at the very edge of a steep incline. Years of gradual erosion have threatened the trees roots, yet they continue their hold on that earth, refusing to yield. Trees hold a special place in my heart. This painting is a monument to the great strength of trees as well as a study of warm sunlight on a cool country October day.
