The island in this piece used to be part of the ground. It tore loose and defied gravity, and somehow it kept its trees, kept its water, kept growing into the fog like it never lost a thing. Down below, the cabin still glows in its windows. Still leaving a space for the island of ever out should fall.

"Uprooted, Not Unrooted" is the second piece in Planted by Living Waters, a series about what keeps growing in you even after the ground beneath you gives way.

Has something ever pulled you loose from where you started and left you growing somewhere you didn't expect? I'd like to hear about it.

Prints of this piece are coming soon through Fravor Studios. Follow along so you know the moment they're available.

I didn't set out to paint the tree. The castle was supposed to be the point of this one, something crumbling and grand in the background. But somewhere in the process the tree took over. It's been standing by that water a long time, long before that tower was ever built, and it'll probably still be standing after the last stone falls.

There's a section of the sky, the stream, and the castle that has an iridescent medium worked into it. It shifts depending on the light in the room, which doesn't come through in a photo, so if you ever see it in person it looks a little different than this.

This one opens a series I'm calling Planted by Living Waters, built around the idea of what stays rooted while everything else around it rises and falls.

Happy to answer questions about the process, the medium, or the idea behind it.
