Two Ways Up, Forked Tree and Green Water

A large tree splits into two thick trunks above the water, their bark deeply grooved and dotted with orange lichen. Thin bare twigs and small clusters of bright green leaves cross the scene, while green and pale grey reflections fill the background. The image has a smooth, painterly look.

Someone wants this piece for the trunk itself. The large fork, with deep-grooved bark and patches of orange lichen, reads almost as a sculpture. Behind it, green and silver water softens everything. The dark brown wood, bright green leaf clusters and pale reflections give a tall, warm, woodsy image that suits a room with natural materials. It is a tree portrait with a painterly finish, not a generic landscape.
