Search for Light

Image
This piece is called "Search for Light." The uppermost branch stretches out in a search for the sun's warmth and energy.  For me this is a metaphor for our human desire to find significance and truth.  My personal search for truth has found a place to rest - a place in the shade of an ancient tree on an ancient hill - the of the skull - and the shade of a cross. This piece is on an amazing rock - Quartz and Granite.  

Tangle of Relationship

Hi Everyone.  I am glad this piece is finally done!  It took forever.   I started working on it in 2022 and it has been dragging along.  The rock is from Kingsport Nova Scotia.  It was chosen by my daughter who saw beauty in it.   I called it "Tangle of Relationship" because it tells the story of three people - one outsider - weeping like a willow.  Relationships can be messy and complicated.    

A small tree (unloved?)

There isn't much to say about this piece.  I actually find this tree a little boring.  I hope someone will like it.  It isn't fun being someone nobody likes.  It is a good thing this tree isn't alive.  

Flat Granite Stance

Smallish tree on a flat granite stone.  I found the stone in the Washago area.  We were looking for some waterfalls in the area.  We found a small walking trail and on the trail I found this stone.  

A Smalley - "Embracing Roots"

Embracing Roots is another piece that went to Ron and Diane C. It was their second pick.  It looks a little like the roots are hugging the stone - a secure embrace.  This tree also has a prominent branch that has died.  Life involves loss - but continued perseverance.
