The Mojo of Trees: An Array of Paintings - Gary Lee Kvamme - Bog

It has been said that it is no exaggerated praise to call a tree the grandest, and most beautiful of all the productions of the earth. For as long as artists have created landscapes, trees have been an essential element of them. Whether studied directly from nature or conjured from the artist's imagination, whether loaded with poetic or political symbolism or addressed in a down-to-earth, factual manner, artists through the ages have treated trees with the same reverence and psychological insight as a portraitist would accord a sitter.The present array of paintings vividly explores my enduring fascination with the mojo of trees.
