Gray Sky, Copper Snow, Wrapped Trees

8” x 10”, Acrylic on canvas, variegated copper leaf / $184

This painting calls to mind wrapped spirit trees that I

witnessed while living in Thailand in 2007. In American culture, we have yarn-bombing, where knitters create garments of decor for trees. Both colorful treatments of trees set them apart from the forest, and give them an animated quality. 

When giving trees human-like eyes, I give the viewer a way to connect and see trees in a different light.
