Another tree! I tend to include a lot of trees in my work. Our trees in the west have so much character with sinuous curves, shaggy paper like bark, finger like branches reading toward the sky, bright and muted dusky greens. What attracted me to this tree was the long flowing root managing to find a way through a crack in the rocks and coming to rest lightly on the dirt. I’m reminded of a ballet dancer balancing gracefully on one foot.

Hence the name "En Pointe”.
