This is another example of dried paint on canvas. I used cool colors for the trunk and warm for the branches and falling leaves. I call it "Fire Tree". I loved the result and I just love trees, don't you? This painting reminds me of a poem I learned once by Joyce Kilmer.
TREES
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree
A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray,
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair
Upon whose blossom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems were made by fools like me
But only God can make a tree.
by Joyce Kilmer
