Gnarled Old Tree
Gnarled Old Tree
Twisted shapes and strong texture were chosen to represent a magnificent old and gnarled tree, like many that can be found in most coastal places. The following poem by the artist, Susan Lackey, was inspired by this artwork.
There is a gnarled old tree, down by the sea,
So strong and true, is how it grew.
No storm nor gale will bend this friend.
A limb may break, but it will mend.

The Remnants Collection
These paintings either the first ones or last ones of a variety of collections. Art Exhibitions tend to contain artwork from a single collection. When there are only a few paintings remaining in a collection, it’s difficult to show them with others. Sometimes a collection is started and after just a few paintings, the artist stops the series for various reasons. These also become difficult to show with others. Because these are some of the artist’s favorites, they are presented here in a patchwork collection of remnants.
