Tree of Light 12×16” Oil on linen
Tree of Light captures a dramatic moment in time in winter, at the golden hour, when the light is just right. I like the idea of painting a tree as if it were a portrait. In a way, it is a portrait. I believe this is a London Plane Maple (Platanus x acerifolia). The face of this tree is filled with bent and twisted branches, and a few leaves, clinging to them, long after autumn has passed. And everything is made into gold by the light. There is an intelligence to the reaching upward, as if yearning for the sun in search of meaning.

Where will you hang Tree of Light?
I can't help also thinking of a tree as a huge lung, with chambers and branches of air, down to the finest level of the corpuscle.

The light shimmering through the clouds like this reminds me of how God finds an opening to light the way. I've done this treatment of trees before.
