Ridge Willow – Spirit of the Trees

“Ridge Willow – Spirit of the Trees“[2nd October 2021] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, sketch with 3H HB and 3B pencils on 280gsm 250mm x 300mm gesso primed canvas [pad], 3480 x 2930 pixels in digitally edited image shown.

The Spirit of the Trees can be seen as a lady’s face at the upper mid-left of the canvas.  Her face is forlorn from habitat destruction, the loss of our world’s trees.  The Spirit is holding up the sky with the trees of her hair. 

The Spirit is listening with cat’s ears to the sounds of positive climate change.  Her voice is strong winds through the trees and all the birds singing in harmony together.

The Spirit appeared, miraculously.

Please note from a technical viewpoint my artwork is a mixture of dashes, dots and lines. This is my interpretation from a specific Van Gogh style. Movement and feeling feature throughout the composition.

The face of a woman is purely chance in the trees. Although for those intimately knowing my works, this is extraordinary coincidence in actual likeness.

Whilst producing this artwork my inspiration found considerable affinity to a recent conservation speech by Greta Thunberg and Samela SateréMawé – Climate and Humanitarian activists.

Please enjoy 🙂
