Can i get a witness?

Trees have been witnesses to many injustices in the world…I sometimes look into a tree and see the spirits and souls they have captured thru their “witness” of unjust murders by lynchings, war, etc…

Can i get a witness? belongs to the following groups:

Complex Simplicity of Art, African Art and Writings, All Things Poetic, Prose, Philosophical., Art Inspired by Dreams, Current Issues, DaDa Land, End Times, Fine Arts, Self as Other, Spiritual Art, Stillness Speaks, Surrealism, Symbolism in Art and Underground USA

Nice painting helene… Other than the subject and style, I really enjoy the vertical work (it looks like it could be a panel for a series work, or larger painting)... Take good care, Peace-
BLYTHART, 5 months ago

This is powerful and very expressive … like all your art is. I like trees with faces … not sure why though.

MAYBE U CAN “SEE” THE IMAGES OF WHAT THEY HAVE ABSORBED AS WELL AND NOT EVEN REALIZE IT…TREES HAVE SO MUCH “PERSONALITY”

Yes helene. The trees hold treasures that far surpass our lifetime. They hold generations of character within their fractal limbs, and have an unmeasurable amount of Power and Purpose… A lot of people see this, but maybe they rarely express the “true” value… Peace-

tree,s yes they are special to me, i have yes! huged one or two, above L.A. there was a tree that smelled like vanila to me, i told my wife once smeell this tree, she looked at me like i was crazy, but she smelt it and said, lord. you are right, it has a wonderful smell, so yes trees are giving us so much, too bad we are raping the woods now, yes we need some wood for homes, but we should use this gift wisely and yes, i know too well, about giving up on love,who dares to love, today, when ,too many cheapen them selfs, and long lasting love is almost never found now, i am alone, again, 6 years ago i put all my love into a relationship, it was a waste,becuse they said, they were seeking their self, and only had so much room for me hahaha now they are in a room alone, and like you, i have my art, basta! por hoy! still, if the gods? will it,anything is possible before the end paz

we generally think of trees as symbols of beauty and nature. in the play Waiting for Godot, a lonely tree can becomes the focal point of suicide and the passing of time. Waiting for….something.

madvlad, 3 months ago

la hell’lene! one more sad truth out there,nice and asssss always, powerful art piece,yes lynching of the truth is going on every day, out there? and some times, in our own hearts, i remember seeing of the man who kidnaped a little girl in fla, raped her and then put her in the ground alive, and i felt the want to hang the sob up my self by his??? so i too am guilty of feeling angry to hang a devil, o.j. with the help of a jury,lynched,two innocent souls twice, so yes injustice is every where,even under our own bed,?
