This is a portion of a tree I saw in Los Gatos, California, on my last visit. I love the texture of the bark and the wonderful twisting branches. Other madrones on the property are straight and vertical. The main trunk of the tree I chose to paint is a long, gray shape that lies horizontal to the ground. The portion I painted looks like new growth, a rebirth of the madrone. I wish the tree could talk and explain what must have been a very dramatic history.
