a beech tree’s remains
slowly melt into the earth
new life rises up 🦊❤️
The latest painting in my Wissahickon Wonders Series is titled “A Phoenix of Sorts”. It is an acrylic work that is 36”x24”. It is my interpretation of the remains of a beech tree whose state of decay reminds me of a raging fire. It is as if it is melting into the earth - which it is. Its disintegrating substance penetrates the soil and fuels new life which in turn fuels new life. I struggled with this painting for almost a year and slowly I was able to paint what I wanted to convey. I want to thank my friend Rob who planted the word “phoenix” into my mind when he saw it much earlier in the process. I hope you enjoy the work. 🦊❤️
