Isaac Smith - Artist - Winter Tree... an Oil Painting

There is a tree that has captivated me which I can see from our dining room window. I sit there and study the shape, the way the tree reaches into the sky, the colors that come out in different seasons, the life of this tree. Two seasons that inspired these paintings are winter and autumn.

I wanted to express the tree surviving, reaching upward with the harshness of winter all around. After painting it, I felt like the tree was almost tranquil, at peace even with everything that was going on around.

Winter Tree is 50½" by 30½".
