This picture doesn't show the swirling sky and luminescent tree branches very well, but the duo chrome paint shimmers in the light--different colors from different angles. A True Voice was inspired by the lovely forest at my brother's property, where it began as an oil pastel sketch.
“All forests have their own personality. I don't just mean the obvious differences, like how an English woodland is different from a Central American rain forest, or comparing tracts of West Coast redwoods to the saguaro forests of the American Southwest... they each have their own gossip, their own sound, their own rustling whispers and smells. A voice speaks up when you enter their acres that can't be mistaken for one you'd hear anyplace else, a voice true to those particular tress, individual rather than of their species.”
― Charles de Lint, The Onion Girl
