Treeology by

You painted all the trees, you didn’t know that they would die,
you varnished all the leaves, you didn’t know they couldn’t breathe

This is a drawing i did inspired by a song and a friend (the best combination for an artwork in my belief)… The song in mind is Treeology by Shady Bard. The lyrics of the beginning are at the top and the rest on the artwork. Now for my friend… As you might have gathered I am a hippie at heart, an AMIABLE personality type and so is she. (Read the description provided for more information). One day whilst drawing and painting together she decided our personailties were like trees.. we provide love, shelter, care,a safe haven for friends, secrets, sorrows and love and give shade to the needy and a place to rest for the wary. we provide, life, homes, peace, love, fun, knowledge, spirit, history, pleasure, beauty to the world and the world would be boring and lifeless without us. yet sometimes, people sit in our branches, breaking them whilst gorging our fruit, picking our flowers and carving our bark. Yet silent as we are, we allow it to happen and remain quiet about the pain and sorrow we feel, only other trees understand and feel our pain (we tend to show emotions yet give no reason or meaning behind it)… I though this very appropriate and so decided to draw it… and it links in with the song…

    Wow, Fiona! This is brilliant! Love the description and the meaning behind this!
    And you drew this ink? Wow, it’s very well drawn. The tree trunk reminds me of this painting I did of spring- Primavera not my best piece, but once I saw this tree I was instantly reminded of my painting.
    I really like this Fiona. Again, very unique work!
