Lexicon Series- Mother's Tree
A part of a series inspired by abstraction, music & fantasy
In a faery tale inspired sequence, this painting is inspired by Cinderella and her mother's tree in the Brothers Grimm faery tale. I related to this aspect of the story when I would see a tree by my grandmother's grave.
