A Tree Inspired this Painting
With a frame crafted from the wood of an old fir tree, likely 150 to 200 years old, this piece is a rare union of art and nature — a homage to the tree’s quiet wisdom, silent presence and enduring beauty.
Without this tree, this painting would not exist.
For centuries, it has withstood storms, offered nourishment, shelter and refuge — and even now, it continues to speak — bringing us its quiet presence, a breath of the forest it once called home.
Anyone who has ever leaned against the trunk of a mighty tree may know the peaceful presence that trees radiate. Rooted deep in the earth and reaching high into the sky, it stands still – grounded, expansive, alive.
It reflects something within us that is often forgotten: the part that knows how to wait, how to take root, how to reach for the light – even in the darkest moments.
And when the light touches us, something within remembers how to rise again – with deeper roots, a strengthened trunk and fresh shoots reaching toward new skies.
