Artist Statements:
Stand Out and Reaching
I chose this spot to take pictures of because there was one tree that look different than the rest. It grabbed my attention. It was shorter, thicker, and a different color than all the other trees and right in front.
Lonesome and The Past
I took pictures of this stub of a tree all by itself in the middle of a field because it interested me. It clearly used to be a big beautiful tree, but now there was just the base of it. I wish I knew more about the story behind the rest falling. Was it a storm? Or maybe someone cut it?
Standing Tall and Strength
While looking for places to photograph I saw one big tree and decided this would be a good picture. It was tall and wide and very eye catching. It was very green in the middle of winter, but didn't look like a basic pine tree.
Arbor and Painted
These trees were found at the back of a cut cornfield. The clouds behind them and the direction the sun was facing made these trees look very interesting. You couldn't really see the details of the trees themselves, but the sky was bright like that was the main focus of the picture.
View and Snow
These pictures I took in my backyard. This is the view from my bedroom window. These trees were so heavy with snow that some branches were touching the ground, which I thought was cool. Solid wood still bends enough to touch down to the ground several feet, but it doesn't break or snap.
