Inspired by a recent visit to Big Sur, Annie was captivated by the trees and began her "Mesmerized by Trees" series.

"Redwoods of Refuge in Big Sur" captures the transcendent beauty of California's famed redwood forests. The painting is a vivid exploration of texture and color, where ethereal shades of green and mysterious swathes of pink envelop the viewer in a dreamlike embrace. Tall, slender redwoods stretch toward a moonlit sky, their presence both grounding and otherworldly.

Wood’s use of dynamic brush strokes and a harmoniously intense palette evokes a sense of deep tranquility and spiritual refuge. The inclusion of a spectral face within a bubble adds a layer of mystical allure, suggesting the unseen spirits that might dwell within the ancient forest. This painting not only celebrates the majestic stature of the redwoods but also invites contemplation on the serene solitude they offer.

"Redwoods of Refuge in Big Sur" is an exemplary piece for collectors and admirers of modern impressionism and abstract expressionism, offering a fresh perspective on the enduring grandeur of nature’s giants.
