“The Tree” has lived in this field for a very long time. It shows signs of distress but that’s character, right? I’ve observed it for my whole life and noticed all it’s different looks depending on light or weather. I find it interesting how things change when it’s environment changes. Different people see different things of course, but when I look at this tree, I see a character. This was made during a freak snowstorm in April when everything became white for a brief time again. I love the feel and the textures and with the soft processing, it is a pleasing portrait that I was very pleased to be there to capture.
