About This Piece
Willows have long held my admiration for their show of gravity and strength in vertical lines. I love the relationship between those evening colors and the inherently melancholic shapes of the branches. That aging blue sky was the perfect backdrop for what I had intended to accomplish up-front. This is a favorite of mine. I hope you enjoy it.
Biography
