An old sprawling tree with crusty bark, deeply embedded roots, twists, turns, and intertwining branches, despite its noticeable scars, symbolizes a deeply purposeful life to me.
The resilient survivor continues to thrive regardless of its battered appearance. It appears to have been a standing witness in a war zone. Its roots are deep. They are tapped into a flowing subterranean river, unnoticeable to the casual observer. This nourishment is the source of life for the tree, allowing it to burst with vigor in the spring and weather the packs of snowy ice in the seemingly prolonged mid-winter.
This acrylic painting was inspired by two locations, and especially the evident tenacity of the old tree. This framed original measures 20.5" x 35" and features a vintage wooden and gold leaf-style frame. Tax is included in the price. Free Shipping.
