Torn from mother earth

This is a strong painting, and you've got an array of textures with, so far as I can tell, just using thick acrylic paint with no additional texturing material; of course, I could be wrong about that, but either way, it still works. I sense your sadness at the death of the tree - and that's something I feel myself, whenever I see a tree felled or uprooted. The play of light is particularly well done, as is your use of strong darks: too many of us are frightened of darks, but without them we've got no light, and not much shape either.

It's a very interesting interpretation Anthony and you have portrayed it well.

I like this a lot and your narrative is food for thought
