Amongst Trees | Lessons for Graceful Living

Body Language of Trees

Their shape, the movement of their lines, it's part of what captures my imagination when observing the beauty of trees. Their twists and turns, their stretchings out of tall exuberant branches, there’s a story in every nook and hollow of a tree. They reveal a body language of their own.

I also love that science provides deeper tales of the lives of trees and the conditions they’ve experienced.

There's so much to be discovered by being present with nature, which is precisely why I love being amongst trees.

Tree Therapy

When stress and anxiety have settled in, being present takes more practice. Finding soothing company in people is not always possible as so many are filled with stresses of their own. Relief is a necessary thing.

Being amongst trees provides lessons in living gracefully. They are an intelligent system of which we are a part. They're strongly rooted to the earth while cleansing our atmosphere with their style of breathing in and out. Amongst trees I nurture a sense of balance, security and the restoration of energy.

Altamont Tree

My painting 'Altamont Tree' is inspired by a tree near the lake in Altamont Gardens, outside Tullow, Co. Carlow. It's part of the collection of paintings called 'The Sacred Lives of Trees'.

While the original painting has been claimed, it's possible to avail of a limited edition giclee print. Visit my online gallery shop to find out the exact details and to place your order.
