Strength of Trees

I am drawn to trees not because they provide me with flowers or fruiting branches but because of the stories they tell, in the map of color and crevice at their core, where they attach to earth and water and stone. This is the strength of trees, their firm resolve and their promise of accessibility and flow. The vertical presentation of this abstract celebrates this strength. The horizontal perspective in the second visual below speaks to me about respect and reason for care, for the future and the ways of men among trees.
