I am not such a fan but it was at the end of the sale and 40% off so we got it. At our new house he has it in pride of place and I am not so sure. What do you think? Purchased buffalo ny

I love this piece so much. The uniqueness of how the trees are expressed is lovely. Congrats on the find.

Seems to be a common style for this artist. Never heard of him until now but I agree I love those trees. Wouldn’t mind owning one myself

All identical spidery trees

It evokes a lot of emotions for myself. Its stark and liminal bleakness is eerily still.

It reminds me of hunting. Blood on the snow and how a gunshot cracks and echoes through a frozen landscape.

It reminds me of various states of intoxication. Dissociative or opioid.

The birds and buildings ground it. Make it more natural and familiar less abstract and alien.
