Oil on Stretched Canvas
Artist’s Statement: I believe G‑d shows Himself in all nature. Who but G‑d could paint the most beautiful abstract skies night after night, each one slightly different from all the previous nights. And so it is with trees. Each one is created unique. My grandmother had a weeping willow tree that I will never forget. A wonderful childhood memory... when I passed this tree it all came back to me. I felt the structure of this tree was so unusual and beautiful. I painted it in oil and when I went back later to visit it after Hurricane Sandy, sadly it was down. I'm so glad I painted it.
