Today I have grown taller from walking with the trees.
Karle Wilson Baker
I am definitely a tree hugger at heart. We have a few majestic ones in our garden, and during stormy night I lay awake worrying that they may get hurt or felled. I can't imagine our life without them. They are especially impressive in wintertide, without their lush summer clothing. Tall and ever reaching as they grace the sky.
I am working on an art quilt that incorporates a grove of trees. The imagery started out as a photo from a fall walk, which was transformed into a screen, which then was used for printing. I love the effect and the fact that this tiny reflection of nature now is part of my art.
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful comments to my last post! Your friendship and willingness to join me on my bumpy journey warms my heart.
Absolutely stunning photos...this is the first Winter that I am finding beauty in naked trees, almost loving them more then when they flourish with leaves...can't wait to see what more you do w/the print on linen...

i love a tree almost more than any other bit of nature (and i love to have a new tree quote, as i've been living with the same one for years...), so i love these photos and i love the linen.
ReplyDeleteRecently I love to observe winter trees too, they have so many personality!...I love the way the painter Egon paints them!
