The inspiration for this artwork was a reflection in a small rippling pond while walking through the woods on a somewhat cloudy spring day. The red flowering blossoms seemed to be tightly holding onto the dark branches as the wind strongly blew through the nearby tree. I was mesmerized as I sat and watched the the intriguing reflections on the slowly dancing water. The reflection of the bright blue sky and the shades of white and grey clouds along with the image of the rustling tree and its red blossoms was a surreal vision to behold. With the reflected image constantly dancing and the shape of the reflections becoming so distorted at the discretion of the prevailing wind, it just lent itself to this abstract interpretation of those surreal few moments in time. I hope you enjoy viewing this piece as much as I enjoyed the original moment. Beauty and wonder surround us. Try to take some time to stop and observe it.
