I find joy creating images of trees. I am captivated by their forms, hues, and textures. Gazing upward from beneath the canopy transports us into a secluded woodland realm, framed solely by branches and leaves against a backdrop of sky and, at times, a gentle landscape. The Brecks, close to my home, is a region known for its distinctive trees. With their rich, thick foliage and gnarled, bent branches, they stand together or scattered throughout the predominantly level terrain.
