I use two pine trees to abstract and divide my image into three panels of gradually diminishing size. Instead of offering a view of a river landscape, I place my viewers behind the trees, asking them to peer between them to glimpse the sun illuminating a bush on the other side of the river and its reflection in the water. The left panel is filled with the texture of bark, the middle panel offers the illuminated foliage and reflection, while the right panel is an abstracted backlit tree. A pile of fallen trees adds a sense of scale to the scene.
