I created this window around twelve years ago for a couple near Boston.

The sheer bulk of this tree still amazes me. I feel like I could reach out and climb in its branches

When I design trees, flowers, and other vegetation, I like to draw them as if they are at the end of their lives, with all their “scars” from living a full life.

From my imitation, this tree lived a life of kids climbing to as close to the top as possible, wildlife eating its bark, and some bending of its branches to show the right path to take.

To achieve this illusion of a three-dimensional effect on a flat plain is quite an achievement that I’m genuinely proud of.
