Uprooted #2

The second in a series of larger paintings using uprooted trees in landscape painting as an analogy. More "removed" from representational than the first painting. I have a few smaller plein air versions also. The twisted, earthly forms showing struggle and resilience, urging one to confront what lies hidden inside, demanding deep reflection and igniting a primal connection to strength emerging from disorder.

The background of this painting is faux gold leaf paint. The overall painting has a gloss sheen. Like all glossy paintings throughout history, a light reflection or hotspot may be visible from certain angles.
