Mists of time...
.... This wondrous poem written by sweet Sally Omar .. for the painting …’The mists of time”....The tree stands strong
against the wind and the rain
watching life’s harmony
and watching life’s pain
its branches sway in the wind
leaves fall to the ground
wind howls through them
a lonesome sound
bark withered and worn
its destiny
strength in its limbs
a wise old tree
the sun shines through
its golden leaves
in the beauty of life
a soft sweet breeze
memories held
in mists of time
holding close
dreams sublime
by Sally Omar
....by Sally Omar…....my first oil painting …. OIL painting on large canvas 6×4’ experimenting trying to capture the elusive light… in Bonnie Scotland ‘Rouken glen’ Park.. love the Autumn mists.. Autumn .. I have a passion for Trees Save the Trees .. inspired by Henry James ‘The Tree of knowledge’.....featured in c.o.r.e.

Considering the size of the work you have done an amazing job. Stunning light and well detailed tree. I have often walked through a wood like this and wondered in awe at its beauty. For me this is an outstanding piece. I rate it 5+
