spirit trees... DC: Prayer

 

 

 

this isn't from my imagination

but a deep appreciation of someone else's.

it's an image stumbled upon on pinterest around a year ago.

a found image to practice drawing.

 

 

 

the image link led me to this

piece of music by Moddi - Thimbleweed.

beautiful too.

 

 

 

i painted my little practice drawing

didn't like it (my painting)

took some dark paint to it

covering most of it

leaving it to oneside

to pick up another time.

 

 

 

seeing Tammie's post about prayer

over at Beauty flows

and i'd been thinking about our forests earlier

pulled me back to this little unfinished thing.

 

 

 

adding these 'spirit trees'

 

thoughts . . . a prayer . . .

to all the forests our lands have lost

and those that are still here

filling us with their life sustaining energies.

 

 

'spirit trees'

 

 

 

the original image is by Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison

titled Winter Arm

 

 

 

my little piece of artwork is a

personal thing for practice.

 

 

with thanks to the original artists

 

 

 

and thanks to Tammie for inspiring me to finish this little one

and for hosting DC
