Weary Spirit Renewal ~ SOLD

"It is not so much for its beauty

that the forest makes a claim

upon men's hearts,

as for that subtle something,

that quality of air that

emanates from old trees,

that so wonderfully changes

and renews a weary spirit."

~ Robert Louis Stevenson

#22 of 30 - "Paintings Inspired by Quotes About Trees".

After picking out this quote,

I went online to look for reference.

Vincent Van Gogh's painting, "Mulberry Tree",

got me excited and energized.

Mulberry Tree - Vincent Van Gogh

To me, his tree really looked like it was whizzing.

So today, I thought I'd try an interpretation.

I felt like Vincent was standing over my shoulder

the whole time I was painting this.

I've always loved this quote.

all the trees' bone structures.

Trees are so amazing!
