Old Hollow Tree
Old Hollow Tree
This sculpture of an was inspired by the old weathered and decomposing trees you often see on a woodland walk. If it could talk, imagine the stories it tell of songbirds that nested in it’s branches or the furry critters it sheltered. This tree must be magical; just look at it. The following poem by the artist, Susan Lackey, was inspired by this artwork.
There’s a rotting old tree that’ broken and hollow,
And covered with moss. I hear from a swallow
Many birds nested here, in the top of that tree.
Still strong it stands, you must agree.
A little twisted and worn, he’s still a beaut.
And a mystery held tight, right down to his root.
The remaining bark is all over acid green.
Pink leaves on limbs. Oh what a scene!
6” square base and 12” tall
wood, wire, leaves
The Nature’s Resonance Collection
These paintings and other artworks were inspired by the visual features, the sound, and the movement that resonates in nature’s mountains, hills, and woodland walks. The colors, shapes, textures, and light of natural settings have been creatively abstracted to suggest the rhythms, the sounds, the movement that are seen and heard.
