busy trees looking
for their branches breaking
exploding
falling
trees frightened
hunted
trees like nervous systems
dripping blood

Comments and thoughts would be welcomed...Jordan

Folks...the impetus for this painting was a great book, The Terror (784 pages).

A NY Times bestseller, it is definitely worth your attention.

While I have moved the painting to the Court of Leaves, the book is firmly set in the far North and Inuit culture.

Poor trees!

These are magnificent eyes you've painted, intense presence.
Alarming poetry!

Thanks for the insight and the book, Jordan.
