Inspiration:
I love trees and relate to them. More than that, I resonate with the growth and wisdom trees represent. The gnarled branches were formed and sculpted by difficult circumstances - but that is precisely what makes them unique and beautiful... like humans. I am fascinated by the life sheltered and fostered by trees - on their branches and leaves...
This painting embodies 3 important elements for me, namely Trees, Sun and Shade/shadows. 
The Sun magics a mundane subject and transforms it into something beautiful, something awe-inspiring.
Shadows provide contrast and refuge, and lead your eye in...
The spiritual connotation is that, like the tree, we become beautiful when there is a light behind us, shining through us...
