Farragut West Twisted Tree

"Twisted Tree"  Watercolor, 10x6

I painted this after a sketch I did in the park I cross on my way from my office to the metro.  The funny thing was that a couple weeks later after I sketched it it was cut down.  Just like that.  I have to admit that I was a little shocked.  I always enjoyed passing this tree.  The way it twisted over reminded me of a bent over dancer with her arms over her head. It was just a unique and beautiful tree  I'm glad that I got the courage to stop for a minute and capture this tree in my sketchbook.  Now that it is gone it makes this painting a little more special.

  1. I really like your tree painting. The yellow background works so well. I am sad they took down your tree, yet glad you had the chance to capture it :)

  3. Oooohh. Menacing. It looks like the tree is winding up, about to slap that person into the atmosphere.

    Great capture.
