"A stricken tree, a living thing so beautiful, so dignified, so admirable in its potential longevity, is, next to man, perhaps the most touching of wounded objects." Edna Ferber
This painting depicts two intertwined trees standing in an open landscape beneath a dramatic, cloud-filled sky. The trees are gnarled and expressive—thick, textured trunks twist upward, giving way to long, spindly branches that stretch outward in all directions like reaching arms. Their bark has rich earth tones—warm browns, golds, and hints of deep rust—adding vibrancy even in a stark setting.
The background consists of rolling, sienna brown earth and a turbulent sky filled with layered clouds in shades of gray, white, and hints of blue. The brushstrokes are bold and sweeping, especially in the sky, creating a sense of movement and approaching weather. The contrast between the warm tones of the trees and the cool, brooding atmosphere heightens the emotional impact.
Overall, the artwork evokes feelings of resilience, solitude, and natural drama—almost poetic in the way the trees seem to companion one another against the vast, storm-laden sky. The style suggests expressive realism with a touch of impressionistic texture.
Although the original isn't available, this painting is available in a fine art giclee. People who have bought the giclee, can't tell the difference between the giclee and the original. My reproduction company is masterful at what they do.
