Landscape,trees,impressionist
Each fall and winter I look with wonder and amazement at the structure of trees. We have a very short growing season here in northeast Wisconsin. These giants of the plant world have to take in enough nutrients from the sun and soil to sustain them through our long fall and winter seasons. In the summer they are luxurious, enveloped in a green mantle of leaves. In the fall, the trees amaze us with the gorgeous yellows and reds they hide until the changing patterns of weather and light tell them to disrobe. I often study the forms of the winter trees. Their sturdy trunks and branches suggest a personality. The bare trees are quiet witnesses to life as it passes season to season. And so they wait and dance with the wind.
