Trees At The Gallery


August First Thursday continues my showing at the Lisk/Rowe Gallery of paintings of mine that feature trees.  Done over several years, these paintings have rarely been exhibited.   

Trees  often take on a personality, not a human personality, but a distinct character as seen by humans.  That old phrase; "You can't see the forest for the trees" can be reversed; "You can't see the trees for the forest".  Just as we as individuals get lost in crowds and statistics, the forms, shapes and idiosyncrasies of singular trees or small groups of trees get lost in great swathes of forest.  

I hope you will come down to the gallery at 850 Main Street to see these paintings.
