Morning tree

Morning tree. 2023.

I was drawn to how this dead tree refused to disappear into the fog, a black ink sketch against a sky of gentle pastels. The mist flattens the paddocks into soft bands of tone, so the branches feel almost like thoughts reaching out into the morning. It is a picture about quiet resilience, standing alone in a field that is half memory, half dream.
